Because Chimera is just trying to be friendly and only gets verbally assaulted back? Or maybe because this is likely how most conversations go for her? Poor thing really.Tetrahedron wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 2:06 am https://www.patreon.com/posts/chimera-meets-52957775
I don't know why, bit that is sad.

Bad Red, Bad alternate version 2nd half, Raine now has the rolled newspaper.
BTW, what happened to Nora in the Patreon support tiers? Did she get tired of rotating whole houses?

Re: Sketch of the Day
Let me resurrect please do not ban me this little thread
We got Professor Raine doing a lore dump about all notable species. And of course being adorable. Happy Raine is best Raine!
I am not particularly fond of cat clans, seems like just: talking cats, which is just not the most creative or interesting idea.

If we take this as Authoritative Canon, could we introduce the small possibility that Mrs Nibbly is secretly a magically proficient cat clan spy?
What's the betting Karen would cause offence by glomping any fluffy northern basitin she encountered?

Re: Sketch of the Day
Probably about as high as the Northern Explorers finding the Basitin village. There was a whole sketch series about them.
Impossible to not glomp the floof.

Re: Sketch of the Day
I hope not. As i said i did not really like the idea of talking house cat. Given the current canon Nibs may even be Trace and Nora child which she decided not to mention once he went genocidal maniac, it is likely not the case but it is definitely interesting if i do say so myself.Tornir wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 8:10 amLooks like 15(a) & maybe (b) have you in the clear.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 3:22 am Let me resurrect please do not ban me this little thread

Re: Sketch of the Day
= Yeah, that's another interesting possibility. I wonder what relation that would make her to Reni?Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 3:27 amI hope not.

I was thinking along the lines of someone that devious [censored] Euchre had hired to subvert the machinations of Clovis' guild* that may harm his own plans.
*I don't believe for one second he doesn't have someone on the inside there.

Re: Sketch of the Day
If we go along with that line of thought, it's possible Euchre managed to kidnap (or be given by Nora) a baby dragon with a neural link to him. It's also possible that his projections were engrained into the manor like Rose's, but in a less invasive and destructive way. If memory serves, that one projection of his was the only one we've seen (besides Zen and Nat's link, and Rose herself) of a character's consciousness being seen where they're not. Do we know if that's a common skill? Would the manor's defenses even be able to block it? Rose could sense it, so clearly there's something going on...Tornir wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 8:01 am= Yeah, that's another interesting possibility.

Also, Tornir, we advise against self-censoring, as it bypasses the swear filter. Not a really big deal, but just so you know.

Re: Sketch of the Day
I'd say that would have to be consensual in some way. Whatever problems you were trying to solve, I think they'd become insignificant beside the trouble you'd get from the abductee's parent(s).Bellhead wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 10:51 am If we go along with that line of thought, it's possible Euchre managed to kidnap (or be given by Nora) a baby dragon with a neural link to him.

Projected consciousness seems to be pretty advanced magic. (Could Trace also do it, if he remembered?) I'd assume it'd use mana to anchor the consciousness and build the projection, so that would be detectable to anyone sensitive to such things.
The estate's defences appear to be really tight within the actual buildings, but limited to surveillance out to the borders of the grounds. Teleportation is blocked within the building; Romulus mentioned that, and Natani discovered it. Probably safe to assume that projecting, scrying, and other invasive magical techniques are also blocked, which is why Euchre manifested on the terrace.
Understood. *edits*

Re: Sketch of the Day
This sketch also brings into question the nature of dragons, aside from Nora and Reni (as the oldest, and the one closest to humans). We know they're creatures essentially made of magic that only get stronger with age, but they can still be killed with sufficient force. Do they naturally have defenses against certain elements? Natural immunities or common physical abilities (besides flight)?

Re: Sketch of the Day
I don't think they're actually made of magic, but they have a managenic physiology, and cannot survive it their internal levels drop too far. They're the only life form that generates and radiates the stuff out into the environment; all other magic using lifeforms are endomanic, having to rely on external sources.
We know they're all telepathic, and I'm going to assume they can all breathe fire, but whether that's generated chemically or magically is unclear.

Don't know how we missed This. Tidbit about dragons.
Independent, usually live alone. Though it still says nothing about their physical characteristics beyond "immortal".

Re: Sketch of the Day
This IS a distinct possibility. I wonder if it's related to Reni's ancestry in some way...?
