Chapter XII All Eepy Under The Rainy Day
12-2 Adverse
[For the level I used the AFK stratery with: Siege E1MAX, Bagpipe E2, Elysium E2lvl20, Ptilopsis E2lvl50, Vigil MAX, Puzzle E2lvl20, Heidi E2S2 and Lumen MAX]
! Everything ahead is SPOILERS !
[Text: 'We've confirmed that a high-speed warship belonging to the Duke of Windermere was attacked by an unknown Sarkaz weapon. There were no survivors.]
GREAT! WONDERFUL! What the hell would you expect me to do about that? How in the hell do you 'gather intel' all we can do is probably look at it from below as it disappears into a cloud of steam and originium specks and hope that the next thing it fires at will not be ummediately us.
I keep forgetting that the title Duke is absolutely available for men and women, so when she comes up every time I'm like... I kind of want to be her when I get older but Ma'amn I do not appreciate the way you're talking about Allerdale. At least she has a good and honest (?) opinion on what she's fighting for, because she's at least being real about how this is progressing and what Victorians think about the 'homeland'.
And are you telling me the Duke of Windermere is dead or... Am I supposed to give up on this model now? They talk about her like she's still alive, so I suppose she was not on that ship.
Sir... Your model is so good. GOSH I LOVE Victoria's clothes so much. Look at the back of his tailcoat, look at the gorgeous cane he'd holding. What a distinguished man whose real agenda and opinions I do not remember thus I can't say if swooning over the model is tipping my good girl scales.
[Text: How about a Sankta patron firearm? I just happen to have one stached away back home...]
I know the Sarkaz are famous for their battle with the Sankta, having past history and whatnot, but are you sure you can just brink a dead Sankta's weapon into the conversation and think that's going to be enough of a temptation?
[Text:
Sarkaz Soldier: Interesting... You got your hands on an angel's guardian gun huh?
Timid Citizen: Oh, um, it's not mine though. It's just for safekeeping... Heavens, those angels from the Notarial Hall are going to flay me alive if they find out, but if you're interested-]
Dude, you are NOT asking if he is interested because they collect them....
[Text: I just happened to hear, you- Err, the Sarkaz enjoy collecting them, so...]
Oh, he asked, alright...
[Text: Listen up. I prefer my angelic toys freshly looted from a pile of corpses. Now, piss off.]
O-kay. Alright, you know what? You can... Do that. I- And that angry guy is dead now, alright. Oh, those two are down the drain as well...
To be fair, he's not wrong. Sarkaz have been living in dar for so long just because other countries are 110% sure that they will be back asking for vengeance and they are such a great of a number that it's going to be catastrophic. This is what I'm talking about when we talk about Arknights' whole 'Who is the good guy?' meter because it is BROKEN. Those who live well do it at the cost of someone else but they didn't really... do anything to get that going, it's all politics. In the meantime those who are mad are mad for a reason you can kinda nod to because it's relatable.
Terrible, really.

CADOR? HELLO? HE'S BABY???
YO THE GLASGOW GANG?
I can't even begin to imagine the damage Kal'tsit would have taken. They say she was already frail, but I wince every time she raises her hand to call on Mon3tr. Don't worry Amiya we can do this. She's gonna be fine, you are gonna be fine, it was all a bad dream. The weight of the Crown of the Sarkaz is heavy but I will hold it up for you babo, I promise.
12-2 Adverse
Poor Golding being told she's probably the reason why all 3 houses got ambushed is really heartrending. She is literally me, for real, actually, and just like how I refuse to give up so did she...
[Text: You little twat, you think being a knight gives you the right to teach me to look at the big picture? I don't give a shite about wiping out some old Sarkaz monsters. My friends are in danger. My home is in danger!]
Okay, indra coming in Indra-ing all over the place until Siege just says 'Indra, enough.' and we instantly stop Indra-ing.
So who the hell are you, Mr. 'I'm the reason Allerdale died but also all your comrades are safely evacuated as much as we could do' and what the heck is your deal??
Trillby Asher? What do you want?
[Text: My sincerest pleasure to meet all of you, ladies and gentlemen. I hope there yet remains room for our objectives to coexist.]
You, Sir, are a clown-
[Text: 'Doctor', the commander of Rhodes Island... There exists very little information on you. We were under the impression that this was due to a lack of importance.
We will reevaluate our internal appraisal.]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
"We thought you are useless, but it seems that was wrong."
[Text: Your subordinates are very strong, even after they heard the word Vampire.]
Which is weird because... what even are you? Your race is undisclosed, W refuses to call you a Sarkaz and bites your backside for having horns, but you also have Baphomet in your E2 art.
What are you????
But also...
INES INES INES INES SHE COMES IN TO SAVE THE DAY BEING A BADASS ONCE AGAIN. And apparently she's been in cahoots with Ascalon because how was she meant to know that Ines is going to come around after annihilating all the communications- no, all the people waiting on the other side of the radios to hear whether or not they get to attack
Better question
HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THAT FALL???
---
Skin intermission, because I caved. Czerny skin is what I'm saving for next, but it's okay because the new CC and the ExeAlter comes first and I can work on that.
12-4 Adverse
And after all of that horror I just get to listen about how Logos is just great at darts and apparently unbeatable at... *checks scribble on hand* chair sliding.
[Text: Cador presses against the door with his body and grabs the axe peeking through the hole back with his two hands. The Man outside makes several attempts to pull the axe back in vain.
Cador: I don't care who the hell you are, but get out of my sight, or I'll have this axe in your brain!]
GET EM CADOR! What a mess, the hecking audacity to be breaking in like that.
This level... Took me like 5 tries and in the end I had to learn the hard way that maybe bringing more robots is a good idea only if I have Chiave and only if I am braced to wait like... what... 200 seconds??? It was insane. I managed though.
12-5 Adverse
[Text: War is cruel. Suffering and death follow in its wake. It exposes out barest, truest forms to one another. It tears off all disguises.]
Oh yeah, I can absolutely see people going insane with all that is happening already, you don't need to remind us... We didn't learn our lesson with the gold tooth that Per left behind after his body got mauled...
Grannynapping happens, Clovisia used her arts and I'm so sad I didn't get to see what they were. Here and then she's not. I don't really get why the workers would try to save Catherine. I mean, yeah, the attempt is fine, since they do care about her, they want to be safe and giving up at this point is a little useless as she said... The Sarkaz will not be showing mercy anymore and I don't think there is any place safe they can go.
In any case, I appreciate the worry. even if Catherine is gonna be like 'You absolute twats.'
Ayo Originium Dust spoiler, dead Infected explode.

[Text: Of course, Victoria has never been truly at peace. The things we make are sent to the border region to fight the Sargonians ot the Leithanians and blast holes in their bodies - Not that it has anything to do with us. All we had to do was stay in the factory and turn screws on the iron blocks.]
Me: "Why is Victoria fighting Laterano again?"
Pinkie: "Because they have all the GUNZ."
Me: "I meant Leithania actually."
Pinkie: "Because they are right next to each other."
Me: "THE SIMPLER EXPLANATION HAHA!"
Pinkie: "Well, yeah! You're Balkan, I'd think you'd know that the best."
Me: "Oh my god, I would."
---
Pinkie: "I'm saying globalization isn't a thing the way I can voice chat with you all. A Leithanian can't voice chat with a Victorian. For me to contact you, Lundi, I have to send a letter to Kazimierz, wait a week, wait another week for a responce and then read your letter."
Me: "If he survives."
Pinkie: "And that is if the Messenger survives multiple cancer-inducing snowstorms, yes."
---
Pinkie: "Cador is definitely one of the based ones in the Glasgow gang. When Siege shows up he's like 'Oh would you like us to fight for you M'lady' and Siege is just 'Can you... not?' because she doesn't want to deal with the weight of her title like that."
Me: "That is absolutely hilarious. I like him."
...
Hope he doesn't die a terrible, horrible death.

Drimo you are famous please divulge the fact that twitter is about to drop any game accounts bind like arknights where you can log through twitter accounts.
Noone is gonna be able to use twitter to access to arknights very soon.
I’m not famous but I will stress that this is a very serious issue.
Here’s a short article on it, but basically, Twitter is ending free access to its API, thus, games would have to pay for a package to access this, which includes features such as binding syncs for accounts.
Starting on February 9th, free access will no longer be supported, meaning, there’s a very real chance that your Twitter-bound account for your favorite mobile game, like Arknights, won’t be accessible through that particular venue any longer, possibly locking you out of your account. There’s no telling which developers will be purchasing this new access package, so better be safe than sorry: Go to your accounts and make sure they have another bind so you don’t get locked out of them.
Please let as many people know about this, so no one gets locked out of their accounts. Twitter gave a single week’s notice, which might catch some people unaware, and this is sudden on game developers as well, so, again, better be safe than sorry, bind your accounts in other ways if you use Twitter binding.

Arknights Chapter XI - Return To Mist
So... Chapter Eleven is at its end and because I am desperate to have enough Originium I need to go through as many chapters in Adverse level as I can so this terrible Clown Fiesta of a skinset coming out tomorrow would be mine.
And conveniently enough, Dr. Kryo is here to help me out.
SPOILERS OF THE STORY AHEAD
Mandatory Opening video because it's too good to skip. I love re-watching these after I'm done with a chapter.
Me, frantically: "Kryo, Gummy is gonna be eaten."
Kryo: "AH- UH- STALL WITH GRAVEL."
Me: Stalls
Gravel: *Gets devoured*
Pinkie, returning out of nowhere: "I see Gravel has been used. They really took 'Eat dirt' to a next level."
---
I have had this woman ever since I started playing, and I have spent all this time almost not reading anything about her. My lass was in Kazimierz, she's here in Victoria with us now, she's a follower of the wendigo, a witch... and I still gape at the mention of her actual relations and experience.
She's a necromancer and a Sarkaz with the funkiest horns ever and just refuses to elaborate, uses her dark arts to heal as a mock of redemption... or something.
---
Me: "IS THAT--"
Pinkie, amused, sarcastic, smug: "Yeah?"
Me: "Now I don't care who it is."
---
HOLY HECK IT'S THE --- GOOD GOD OH MY GOODNESS AAAAaa--
Kal'tsit lore, Kal'tsit jumping in front of us to save me, to save Amiya little baby saw so much and she's sobbing limp in my arms after the wall crumbled underneath her tiny little bunny feet!!!
I am so sad oh my golly Mrs. Cat lady you are in the middle of all the drama, you are THE historical event you horrendeous fossil you, all the horrible things that happened happened because of you and now everybody is mad; what does your brain see that we do not, what sort of demons haunt you, whose voice do you hear that guides you, I need to know.
---
...
---
Pinkie: "Oh hey Kal'tsit, what are you doing there?"
Me, who already knows: "I don't want to."
Kryo: "Are you ready to hear the team comp? Oh, it's pre-set. Tell me when you're ready."
Me: "... Let me go through the story first. I feel like I need to learn the context before I witness it."
Pinkie: "Yes please."
Me and Pinkie: *Reading*
Kryo: *Falls asleep*
Me: "Alright, we're done now. I'm ready for guidance."
Kryo: "..."
Me: "Kryo?"
Kryo: "..."
Pinkie: "Is he gone? I have time. Let's do it."
Me: "... Alright."
---
Me: "I want to save her."
Pinkie: "You can't stop a canon event."
Me: "I don't want it to be a canon event."
Pinkie: "O, he's coming."
Me: *Sad whimpering*
Pinkie: "Oh, here it comes."
Kal'tsit: *Dies*
Pinkie: "Now he's gonna leave. So long, losers. Refuses to elaborate."
---
Me: *Pogging* "It's the sword!"
Pinkie: "Wow, now we have TWO swords that only work if the one destined and chosen by the sword is wielding it."
---
Man... My life in Operation 11-18, am I right?
---
Kryo: "Why is he panting in my ear? Dog, chill!"
Me: "Thank you for your services... Both Hung's VA and Hung himself."
---
Me: "I don't know which one is worse, a level where the enemies are only three 'No Data' boxes, or the levels where there are three rows of them."
Pinkie: "Hey, but you get to find out for yourself, right? It's the fun part of it. Trial and error."
Me: "I don't want trial and error..."
---
Me: "What was the Steam Knight music called again?"
Pinkie: "You don't need to know."
Kryo: "Sexy Vampire music."
Pinkie: "Damn it... It's Vampire Sex Music."
Me: "Reverse-psychologises you into telling us the name because you think we got it wrong and you always need to be right."
Pinkie: "... How dare you."
---
Me: "So, the Vampire Sex Music."
Pinkie: "Yeah."
Me: "..."
Steam Knight:
---
Pinkie: "I wish he was someone we could get as a character one day. Imagine being able to deploy the Steam Knight."
Me: "He's gorgeous. Look at that."
---
Me: *Squealing* "Look at her! Baba! Look at her tiny ears. Oh my god her teeny tail. I love her."
Pinkie: "I remember when people were super surprised to just... see baby Siege out of nowhere."
---
Lord, this scene...
Absolutely insane.
---
First try, here we go-
OH NO
EBENHOLZ
...
Pinkie: "I think you need a better Hoshiguma."
Me: "..."
Kryo: "My Hoshiguma was lvl40 E2, I think hers (lvl25 E2) would be fine."
Pinkie: "I struggled and mine was lvl60."
Me: "Maybe because you didn't have Ebenholz E2 level 90."
Pinkie: "WELL! You're right. You'd think that I'm missing the boss-killer on the Boss stage and would do something about him sooner, but I just haven't been able to around all the other things I need to do for this game."
---
Me and Kryo: *Finish the stage on the second try*
Us: *Celebrating*
Me: "It was so much easier than I expected. I've seen so many elaborate videos that are... Really nothing in comparison."
Pinkie: "It seems I am the problem. Skill issue."
