noooooo underground temple things are the worst!

i don't know why but most of noct's ancestors put their royal tombs in caves and stuff and the spiders have turned into daemon spider ladies and they're huge and spinneretty and gross and also they try to kill you!!! and their webs gets into your HAIR and eeeuuugghghhghgghh!!

[whichcraft]

Why were you in their tombs? Were you TOMB RAIDING??

Full disclosure we were tomb raiding when we went in the temple thing so it's not like I'm judging.

[photoshooter]

is it raiding if technically their stuff probably belongs to him on account of them being his ancestors and him being like.......the chosen one?

onnnnn the other hand, raiding sounds way cool so let's go with that!

[whichcraft]

...What I'm taking away from this is that you have state-sanctioned tomb looting and all I can say to that is

Man, I want to live where you live.

[photoshooter]

lol um






well it used to be nice! good vacation spots outside the city. and the city was like, all old and noble but high tech too. really cool modern contrasts to look at downtown.

[whichcraft]

...Used to?

[photoshooter]

it kind of got attacked when we were in the middle of signing a peace treaty with the evil sons of bitches empire we've been fighting for like. forever.

and also i guess now there's daemons everywhere, which are monsters that spawn out of the darkness and will also turn you into daemons. stuff's sorta not great overall rn.

[whichcraft]

Oh.

...Shit.

So this is better. Being here, it's better than where you used to be.

[photoshooter]

i don't know about that. i mean....................

maybe objectively? but




but it's still home.

[whichcraft]

...............

Yeah.

No place like home.





Is that Noct's job, then? Save the world, or something?

[photoshooter]

yeah, but

[The rest of the reply doesn't come for several minutes.]

sorry. never mind. i shouldn't talk about it. i don't even know what we can do about it from here, it's not like we're even on eos right now.

[whichcraft]

...Sorry. I just assumed, since you said he's the chosen one or whatever, that's

usually when people get called that it's because somebody's telling them to do some fresh bullshit that they never asked to get signed up for.

that's all.

[photoshooter]

that's pretty much it exactly, yeah. like, it's a big enough responsibility being the king and all, and then there's this other stuff he has to do, too. it's just really not fair.

[whichcraft]

I'm sorry. I hope you get to go home and fix things.

...





LOOK BEHIND YOU, IT'S A SUBJECT CHANGE

What's the grossest thing you ever had to do while tomb raiding?

[photoshooter]

OH NO EVERYONE GEAR UP, THE WILD SUBJECT CHANGE GOT US BLINDSIDED!!!!

the ABSOLUTE GROSSEST thing was less me having to do something and more something that happened. oh wait crap there were two really gross things.........................okay i'm gonna tell you the first, probably technically less gross but more personally disturbing one.

so one time while we were exploring some dark caverns i went to peer over the edge of something and SUDDENLY!!! I GOT GRABBED AROUND MY WAIST BY A GIANT SNAKE LADY DAEMON AND PULLED DOWN INTO THE DEPTHS OF HER LAIR!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! (((φ(◎ロ◎;)φ)))

i managed to wiggle free and everyone came to face her but the grossest thing was i think she thought i was her BABY!!! eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww.

[whichcraft]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

That's SICK and I think it's actually more disturbing than my grossest thing so good job traumatizing me vicariously, ugh ugh ugh.

[photoshooter]

oh come on you gotta tell me!!! flora pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

[whichcraft]

IT'S GONNA GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES

it still gives me nightmares it's the WORST

[photoshooter]

[...]

well you don't have to talk about it if you don't want. buuuut if you think it'd help you can tell me, you really don't have to worry about giving me nightmares. i'm a tough dude!!

[whichcraft]

Okay so this temple we were in, it was magic, right? Magic shit all over the place.Just magic everywhere.

Except it was also like........bug-themed. Beetles.

So as we got near the end of the tomb we figured out that the guy who built it had hidden his treasure room behind this magical gateway, and the only way to get to it was to go through.

So the gateway turned out to be this fountain, and you had to jump into it to have it take you to the other side.

Except it didn't pour water, it poured beetles.

[photoshooter]

noooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[whichcraft]

I DIDN'T GO IN IT

my friends did and i did not because who the fuck just up and jumps into a fountain of beetles.

[photoshooter]

even if i had to do that to save my LIFE i would straight up fail. i would just DIE.

did you have to wait outside while they all hung out in the treasure room then??

[whichcraft]

Yup! I stood there like a loser playing tic-tac-toe with myself while they went in and found out that surprise surprise, the guy had booby-trapped his treasure room.

[photoshooter]

with more bugs, huh?
