Test Drive 1

Welcome to the beta test of BadgerNet, Multiversal Edition! Settle in and enjoy your posting experiences. Everything in this will be non-canon.

Here're some example prompts to play around with. You can make up your own!

1. An embarrassing moment of yours just got posted to the site. Oops!
2. Post your proudest moment to the site.
3. Hiccup Event: Vampires. Everyone affected is a vampire, your choice of what style of vampire.
4. Hiccup Event: Disney Princess. Animals just won't leave you alone!
5. Hiccup Event: Actor. You believe you're an actor playing the role of yourself as a character and you have the props and everything to prove it. Chill offstage and all that.
6. You're livestreaming a dramatic moment in your life.
7. Asking the people on the site for advice on something.

And so on. Be sure to read the rules and FAQ before posting.

...some kind of basilisk hack? Perceiving it causes the problem?

[sassafrisk]

[Frisk has tried suave charm. Frisk has tried noble bearing. They are all out of options, and frankly, they are getting real tired of this.]

Full offense, Your Majesty, but you're not acting like a fool.

You're acting like a toddler.

Normally I'd go into a whole big speech here about how I can tell you've been through a lot, but even considering all of the bullshit this world has obviously put you through, that fact that you're acting like this proves you're a fundamentally immature brat who thinks that you're always in the right because the world has done you wrong.

I didn't came here to be a hero or whatever. I admit that I can be an arrogant little shit who ended up getting handed omnipotence on a silver platter way too early in life to handle that responsibility and that gave me several complexes that I'm still working through!

But that's the thing. At least I admit it.

I came here to see if my hunch was right—and I was really hoping it WASN'T, by the way!—that you were some sanctimonious wackjob who'd do anything to protect the vague ideal of "her people" even if it means getting blood on her hands, and surprise surprise, I was correct! Sanctimonious wackjobs have a place, though. Some people need to be selfish enough to protect the greater good, as long as you can recognize that you're not some divine being of pure justice. They can reflect and maybe even take a few steps back if they've gone too far. Not you, though.

I wasn't trying to fix everything. I just wanted to see if you had the balls to take a long look at yourself after doing something directly that you've only ordered your subordinates to do for you, if the circumstances of this IDF thing are any indication. And it looks like you don't. If you could've at least acknowledged that maybe you wouldn't have been happy with all that blood on your hands, I would've left here a happy "Invader," knowing that maybe you could be reasoned with to work together with others to solve your problem rather than act like a kid younger than you already are.

But no.

You simply ignored everything I said that did not suit the story you told yourself. You told yourself my wish to protect my own people didn't matter- no, you didn't consider my wish whatsoever, even when I explicitly told it to you.

You're nothing but a base hypocrite, a child with delusions of being the only one whose desires matter, just like Ramaa.

[axmeowder]

[ Azra sets down her cup of tea. ] Our efforts aren't that effective. There's far too many who have been affected. Lives shattered, lives lost. Towns lost, even. And some Invaders still collect more power while we're unable to do anything. [ Paul's forces, Ilai's school, just to name a couple. ]

The nobles only sit in ignorance because they willfully ignore anything that doesn't affect them directly. And if an Invader gets to them, it'll be a disaster. So we always manage to stop that much.

I hate it.

[ AZRA YOU ARE BEING WAY TOO FORWARD ABOUT THIS TO THE LITERAL PRINCESS. ]

[antisekai]

Azra. They are yours to do with what you will. I apologize for wasting your time.

[That's all you're getting, Frisk. Camiel is out, Taro leading her back the way they came.]

[antisekai]

[Fortunately, the Princess agrees.]

... It is as you say. I hate it as well. Sometimes I feel we are doing nothing more than patching leaks in a great dam, which will soon burst.

[britbrat]

Facetiously, I feel I should clarify, given the nature of this network. The year is 1976, not 1776.

Are you English, then?

[superstylishsquid]

That does sound about like how these things tend to go. But hey, at least you've got an obvious storyline laid out.

[sassafrisk]

Yeah, cool. Just to be clear, when you do end up twisting whatever justification you have into a mobius strip to invade other worlds yourself, I'll still be there to call you a big fat hypocrite to your face before giving you a taste of your own medicine—nonlethally—and kicking you off the planet.

Peace, jackass.

[They flash an angry peace sign at Cami before activating Time Compression. And in a blink of an eye they're in their cockpit again, taking off while rolling their eyes.]

[areyuuserious]

I wish I had a better way to pin down the general order, but just knowing how many points I'll have to hit total helps. (That would be seven, if you were wondering.)

I think I have the starting point pinned down, though.

[superstylishsquid]

Sometimes you just gotta ad lib. Beats being bored, right?

[shslliar]

[ He's got the deer in the headlights look. ]

Kaede Akamatsu...? I have never met that woman in my life, why are you asking?

[axmeowder]

Change is bound to happen at this rate. I just hope it changes in our favor.

[antisekai]

As you say...

[She sighs.]

I cannot understand why it is considered so wrong that we just wish for Iden to be left alone.

[antisekai]

Though of late I begin to wonder if said church is worthy of breaking those rules, I confess. Not through any flaws of the church itself, but rather the god.

[antisekai]

What is it you are thinking?

[antisekai]

Then know that Iden does not ask for your presence, nor your help.

[lightnovelexperiences]

It depends on what the problem is.

If it's... minds bending around a "hero" then one of the boons granted by worship of the Mundane goddess Flamma is resistance to those kinds of manipulations. And all she demands for that level of consideration is brewing and libations of what you brew.

Powerful Clerics of her order are entirely immune to mind control and can cure it with a touch. Between her also being a fire goddess and that, her clergy often turn into vampire hunters.

She's a love goddess, you see. And She believes love that's coerced is no love at all.

[antisekai]

[There is another pause as she has to consider this, but.]

Unfortunately, I doubt the works of foreign gods will triumph over those of ours.

[nijistaryume]

depends on the god right?
like the one who gave you her blessing is prob nice

[antisekai]

Even so, it is dangerous to believe yourself above the rules.

[simplythehero]

Okay.

[That's all that really needs to be said.]

Best of lucks.

[nijistaryume]

huh ig
even if those rules are don't put gold + silver on the same shield

Re: 7

[thornsofmundus]

Thorne.tcai.

I know because he was my brother-grandfather.

Re: 7

[lightnovelexperiences]

...understood.

May the only game those responsible can find be pets of yours.

[fareisfair]

I'm sure we could set up one on an asteroid somewhere. But it might be hard to promote a transportation service if people aren't traveling anywhere to see the sign.
