S.C.O.R.P.I.O. (on hiatus)

[CalamityCons]

I use imgur all the time, and it's annoying when it has to go down for maintenance. It's okay if you don't update

[Menek]

>Exposit on your highblooded friends.

Um...you can TRY. You don't exactly know either of them THAT closely, but you can give a general outline.



One is TEAL BLOODED, which is about as low as a blueblood can get. She carries the symbol of the BARDAGGEDONS, which are an even more powerful subclass of the already powerful MUSINCISIONS. From what you can understand of it, bardageddons eventually get the power to SEE INTO THE FUTURE, and they create songs based on those visions because they are incapable of telling people otherwise.
So basically they're prophets who are actually forced to be cryptic and make people's ears bleed. Thank whatever gods there are that her powers HAVEN'T MANIFESTED YET.

The other is a completely different story. She has INDIGO BLOOD, which is about as high as a blueblood can get without turning into a fish. She carries the symbol of the SUBJAGUARS, a little-known cult that worships cats or something stupid like that. You've never really cared enough to ask her for details.
The only question you've really asked her was why she's ADDICTED TO SOPOR. She answered that it helped her get to the LAND OF JUNGLES AND CATNIP.
You haven't asked her another question about her personal life since, and probably never will. Some things are BEST LEFT UNKNOWN.

Speaking of unknown things being left, you better check up on MISS TEALBLOOD. Last you heard of her she was poking around these weird ruins she found in a cave. Maybe she DISCOVERED SOMETHING?

>Troll AA.

Before you do that, you climb off the backup battery because you have no idea what you were doing up there anyways.

You can either go after her NOW, or go after her LATER after you've done a few other miscellaneous things. Which will it be?

thanks for being patient you guys. life is buuuu.
not really a huge update to make up for it, but I'd say it's adequate.

also Photobucket decided to be nice and not resize my pictures today. woo!

[ArchmageFestus]

Go do some random stuff first.
Because what kind of Homestuck derivative would this be without a bunch of random dicking around?

[Menek]

ffffft
I may or may not be able to update tonight. Or tomorrow morning. Definitely tomorrow, but...maybe not right now.
I'll try but homework augh.

Just as a warning to you all.

[Menek]

>Check up on your lusus before you go.





Yeah, telling him that you're going to some ruins far, far away is probably a thing you should be doing.

If your prior knowledge of his behaviors are anything to go by he's probably on the roof being an idiot. Needless to say, you're not looking forward to this encounter.




>Climb the ladder.



No.
Ladders are too mainstream.

small update is small.
and pretty crappy.
especially the last one.
but hopefully it will tide you all over until I finally figure out how to draw Dan-dan's lusus? shouldn't be too difficult.

Also, there shall be much dicking around in the foreseeable future. Not right at this exact moment, but soon. So soon I can taste it.

...And it tastes like dust. Bleck. Don't lick your computer screen ironically to prove a point, kids.
/unfunny, going to bed

[Menek]

What.

What the hell is he doing.
What are you even looking at.
You can't.
What is this.

Well, WHATEVER he's doing, it's causing him to be drawn like shit and therefore be unable to be satisfyingly introduced. You'd better put a stop to this nonsense somehow.

Sometimes, you wonder which one of you is the lusus in this relationship. Not that trolls can be lusii. That would just be silly!

For those curious, Eri's lusus is a "wave strider", which is basically a water strider that can stride on/create waves instead of water, essentially giving it the ability of flight and a few minor psychic powers. Those powers are why he and Eridan are even still alive even though he is an idiot.
Fun fact; this one was modeled and referenced from the Aquarius Remigis species of water strider. (see what I did there, hurr)

anyways he took forever to draw
that's what I get for designing lusus that are hard to draw :E

Pfffft you're fine.
Spoilers easily blend into a post full of other spoilers and big images, so they're easy to miss.
that and i'm also so, so guilty of skipping over spoilers you don't even know

And, yay, a new reader! 8D /clapclap

Welp. So much for that.
Though you really should have seen that coming, with you weighing more AND being slightly bigger than him and all.

Whatever, wave striders don't make very impressive mounts anyways.

I'm just going to request different commands and/or respectfully ignore that one for the next update, since it's not really going to work.

That's because Aradia's lusus is dead.

[Menek]

>Stop these shenanigans and be the tealblood already!

Okay, okay! Sheesh.



You are now the TEALBLOOD.
However, referring to people by their blood color is rude and bloodist.

Let's fix that, shall we?





>Introduce yourself.



Your name is ARADIA MEGIDO.

As was stated before by your yellowblooded amigo, you are an aspiring BARDAGEDDON, even though your powers have not yet manifested. All bardageddons specialize in a certain type of instrument, your own being the STRINGS (and piano), and like all MUSINCISIONS use these instruments in combat. You'd be surprised at how well an almost-6-sweep-old with a violin can fight.

When you are not busy KILLING THINGS WITH THE POWER OF MUSIC, you enjoy ARCHAEOLOGY. Unfortunately, your location in a treehouse in the middle of a forest in the middle of a mountainside that's teeming with beasts is not conducive to that hobby. That doesn't stop you from DOING IT ANYWAYS. You have to admit that you are a bit RECKLESS, but what good troll isn't?

Your trolltag is arioseArcheologist and you are happy all the time and when you get really excited you start siiiingiiiiing~!

You were just about to leave for the ruins you recently found, but you suppose you have some free time before then.

What shall you do?
