The Bad Sanses somehow ended up in the Backrooms. №12

next 13

prev 11

This is the translation of the another post from Russian to English. I understand English, but it is very difficult for me to write in English, so I asked chat GPT to help me. I have corrected some parts, but there still may be mistakes.

I thought the inspiration had run out, but no! I am so glad about this fact! Glad that I have the strength to continue drawing and writing the story.

At work, I often have to work overtime, so after the shift, there is only time to eat and sleep. There is hardly any time for researching the wiki and drawing. It doesn't sound very good, but the work itself is not difficult, and I will have money to live 🤷‍♀️

I have read quite a few levels recently. I see that a lot has changed since the last time I was interested in this topic.

I continue my experiment with marking the test from the perspective of different characters =)

Level 5 was not bad. In the sense that it was still a place of indefinite size with a random set of rooms. But they were all getting used to liminal spaces, and the elegant expensive furniture and designer interiors pleased the eye. Especially after the faceless rooms of the previous levels. The only thing that was not pleasing was the presence of people nearby. They were not visible, but the mere thought of them did not allow relaxation.

🌙 For Nightmare, this place was valuable as the first convenient crossroads level. He also hoped to meet the Society of the Lost Hall, as mentioned in the knowledge base. This meeting could bring interesting information if Nightmare could interest them in something. But at the same time, he did not want to encounter the local devil. This meeting did not bode well for his wards. It remained to be hoped that the creature only visited semi-mad loners (Nightmare looked at the thread that made his team part of Error in the eyes of the Backrooms, and calculated the overall level of sanity that resulted. The result was not dismal. He had everything under control).

It also became evident that this world leaves its mark on his wards. They changed in the same way as Nightmare. Gradually. Almost imperceptibly. He tried to ensure that this did not harm their common goal. Indeed, in Dust's case, these changes turned out to be positive and did not cause concern (Nightmare feared that Dust might return to babbling with hallucinations). Moreover, Deathmoth met often and was intelligent enough to slightly fuel Nightmare's negativity. Insects did not possess strong emotions, but they were easily provoked by external influences.

🦴Dast felt a strong fatigue and fell asleep the moment he sat in one of the comfortable soft chairs. The insects snuffling under his clothes no longer bothered him at all, and the tickle of their legs became pleasant and comforting. Butterflies peacefully floated above his head, flying into his skull like dreams.

Rest had a good effect on his morale, awakening hunger. Dust realized how irregularly he had been eating. This explained his profound exhaustion and weakness. Due to stress, he had not been listening to his body's needs and had been hungry for quite a while.

Horror generously made him a sandwich, and Killer (who also had a sandwich in his hands) shared a handful of sweet Flowey Seeds. Dust hadn't felt this good in a long time. But looking at the Almond Water still made him nauseous. He drank very little, giving the remaining liquid to Deathmoth, who followed him in a pack.

The fur at the base of moth wings resembled cat fur. Dust indulged himself in running his fingers carefully over it.

⛔Error decided to delve into studying the code surrounding him. If on the early levels the code didn't seem too complex (was it a warm-up?), now it seemed that some parts became inaccessible to him: links led to empty memory cells, variable values were taken from nowhere and unpredictable changed within loops (it didn't look functional). Understanding what was happening became more difficult. It required focus.

Engrossed, Error didn't immediately notice the danger. At first, it seemed as if someone had touched him. He was already preparing to erupt in anger when he realized that no one was nearby. It wasn't "Someone," but "Something." Another strange impulse passed through space, brushing against the scattered blue strings in the surrounding area. Nightmare seemed to have felt it too, judging by the ripples on his liquid covering and his wary gaze. Error sent more strings around the room (he snapped at the others' attempts to find out what he was doing. The group immediately became wary, and Horror woke up Cross), trying to gather more data on the vector of this impulse. It felt like a growing wind, but it didn't interact directly with objects. The same sensation can be felt during a rapid descent. A tickling sensation in the gut.

When he opened the code editor, something strange was happening with the coordinates (not that these constants were in order before). Right before his eyes, an unknown programmer was creating a loop to calculate the equation for... Wow. Right now, another space was passing through their room. Or rather, not even the room, but one of the points on its plane. Like an infinite silk scarf through a small silver ring. And this point was moving, expanding, as if an invisible tornado (actually an invitation). Theoretically, this should move everything it touches to another place, but the objects in level 5 space remained in place. Several blue strings snapped.

Before Error could warn the others about the danger (you're exaggerating), he fell into a ...0%...

🪓Horror saw Error go into a reboot, typical for transitioning to another level, and managed to grab onto his black jacket. Then his damaged skull rang from hitting the white floor. The Destroyer crashed into his chest a moment later. Cross screamed in surprise nearby, and Dust cursed. Killer behaved fairly quietly, although something loudly cracked after his fall (it's not bones, is it? God, please, no). Horror tried to turn his head to check, but shut down.

⚔️ Cross, perhaps for the first time during his entire stay in the Backrooms, managed to find a comfortable place to sleep. Previously, he always had to sleep on the bare floor or leaning against Horror's massive figure, which was warm and didn't mind frequent tactile contact.

When his rest was interrupted, he had too little time to grasp the situation. He noticed the tense Nightmare and Horror next to Error. In the next second, something seemed to drag him through a bottle neck (the short path felt similar). He plummeted down like a cannonball.

Cross gathered himself and thanks to this, landed on his feet. In contrast to the rest of the group.

Horror fell quite awkwardly, pinned down by the unconscious Error. Cross hurried to drag the Destroyer away and inspect his friend. But everything seemed fine, no serious injuries. His damaged skull hadn't shattered further, even his HP was almost full, just a couple of scratches and bruises. Cross turned to see the others.

Nightmare was found in the distance, looking disoriented. His outlines seemed blurry, and he slumped against the wall (is he in pain?). But as soon as the Keeper of Negativity caught someone else's gaze, he straightened up and quickly assumed a composed demeanor.

🔪Killer fell onto one of the Deathmoths accompanying Dust. Its chitinous wings cracked loudly and finally detached, with several legs bent in the opposite direction. The insect thrashed in agony, and there was little that could help it. The skeleton itself was unharmed and contemplatively watched its "safety cushion." Dust tensely froze, watching the injured butterfly. But before he could come to any decision, the Killer's knife plunged into the Deathmoth, instantly ending its suffering.

Dust was definitely ready to kill him (too bad he held back). Well, that will make the Killer's life more interesting until Dusty cools down. It used to be difficult to provoke him into a fight, but if the lives of a couple of butterflies allow him to capture his attention... the Killer will consider this option in the future. It's interesting, will their group find any more Strange equipment? That would be nice. It seems these items allow for some amusing tricks.

Nevertheless, Dust took the lifeless body of the insect. Was he going to bury it?

---

The group allowed themselves to stay in place until all of them regained consciousness, and then moved forward. Mostly, they encountered empty white corridors with occasional locked passages leading to laboratories and production areas. According to the records, they were on level 15. And it was unpleasant. There were no clear exits on this level, and the way they got here was hard to describe as... reproducible. Seriously, what the hell?

One of the laboratories was open. Inside, there was futuristic medical equipment that Dust immediately tried to use. Surprisingly, it worked! The dead insect came back to life, but its coloration changed (these colors triggered unpleasant memories).

The next significant event was the appearance of a human.

Glams and Dyes

If you love Cute Clothes as much as me, these are very much for you. But if you don't really care what your character wears (or the color it is), these are completely optional.

Unlocking

You may as well do them both at once as they unlock at the same time and are both given by the same person and neither takes you out of Vesper Bay

[Image ID: screencap of Swyrgeim in Vesper Bay, to the left of her is a selection box that lists the options of two quests; Color Your World and If I Had a Glamour, Small Talk, or Nothing /end ID]

These unlock in Vesper Bay out in Western Thanalan aaallllll the way to the west, past Horizon but before the sharp turn north. you'll be out here a lot for MSQ later so remember it's location. If you get here at or around level 15 she should be the only quest marker, if I recall correctly.

[Image ID: two more screenshots of Swyrgiem, these two with quest synopses next to her. On the left is Color Your World; "Swyrgiem wants to show you a whole new world of colors." and on the right is If I Only Had a Glamour; "Swyrgiem wishes to impart to you her knowledge of glamours." /end ID]

Like the queen she is she sends you to get her drinks. If I Only Had A Glamour marks on the map who to talk to, but for Color your world you need to go to the Merchant & Mender that you can see in my caps just above the quests and the orange juice will be under Purchase Items. don't worry! it's only 7 gil.

[the rest under cut because this is Long]

Use

my first note is that many dyes can be bought in the markets of every city. Some can be bought in the cash shop, some can only be crafted, and some are beast tribe locked (and some are locked in other ways). However, all dye can be found on the market board, just be willing to pay a small fortune for some colors if gotten that way. I would always either check the market or look the color up on gamerescape to see how to obtain it before going to the market board.

In the inn room look for these mfers:

[Image ID: The Glamour Dresser and Armoire in the Limsa Lominsa inn. /end ID]

Anything that can go in the armoire, I'd put in there because if you get really into glams the dresser can uuhh fill up quick, and you can access the armoire while making glams without any extra hassle. Plus in order to put things in the dresser you need glam prisms whereas you don't for the armoire. Prisms can be bought on the market board, from your Grand Company upon reaching Sergeant Third Class, or crafted. The unlock quest, should have given you 12 and that's plenty enough at this low a level.

At this point, unless veteran friends have given you clothes or gil and/or you've spent money in the cash shop, you shouldn't really have any of the gear meant for glam, except the little hat the quest gave you. You can put armor and starter clothes in but I would hold off on either (unless you really wanna glam to starter gear) because you might need them if you pick up an off class and it's a hassle to pick up a class and then remember you have to yank gear out of the glam dresser or buy a new set.

But, let's say you had gear and everything you wanna put in your dresser is there and you're ready to make your first glam.

[Image ID: The ffxiv glamour interface showing Aki, a Xalea girl, in her starter outfit and the dresser open to her shoes. /end ID]

The 20 tabs you see above the character display are the 20 glamour plates you get. You can have 20 unique and custom outfits pre-designed and waiting in here. Much like when equipping armor, as you select the spot for a piece of gear on the left the right will open to all the gear you have stored for that place. Select feet you get shoes, head you get hats, etc. **Note: wrists/gloves/shirt sleeves can and will cover bracelets. Accessories are the lowest level; any cloth that covers the same spot will be on top.**

but say maybe for parts of your glam you want something from the armoire. Then hit that long horizontal button under the display of gear in your dresser that says Open Armoire. You don't need to save the glam before hand or anything, it only refreshes that side of things.

If you do seasonal events you'll slowly start collecting up things to fill your armoire with (they do not always give gear but when they do it goes in the armoire.) Otherwise, it's a good place to dump artifact armor (from reaching level caps) if you don't want to get rid of it or want to use it for a glam.

Now! you've selected your outfit. Looks kinda cute, but the colors don't match your character? Well, that's what the dyes are for! Right click/press square on whichever piece of gear you wanna start with and you'll get this

[Image ID: the ffxiv dye selector. In the character box Aki stands wearing the gear she is outside of the dresser with the Ishgardian thighboots selected to dye. /end ID]

This is, as you can see, pretty cut and dry. It's separated by colors so if you click the red circle you see all the red dyes, blue you see the blues, etc. The notes I will give you are that 1) there are pinks under both red and purple, 2) Terebinth turns something back into it's default color, and 3) you can select colors you don't have at this step but you cannot save the plate with dyes you do not have on it.

What I generally do is go through and pick all the colors I want and then pick secondary colors in case the first is too expensive/not for sale/I'm to lazy to make/get, I note how many of which colors I need and then I remove all the dye and save the plate. Then I exit the dresser and go get what dyes I don't already have before returning. this way I'm not guessing that colors will look good together and potentially wasting gil. I also buy dyes in small bulks when I can afford it so I have some for next glam.

However you personally do it, once you apply your dyes and save the plate (again) you're done! All you need to do is hit Apply.

[Image ID: same as the first only now Aki is wearing a peach flower corsage, the hempen camise, summer sunset wrist torque, faire kohakama, and Ishgardian thighboots all dyed either regal or gloom purple. /end ID]

Congratulations! You have now made your first glam plate!

[Image ID: Aki, now out of the dresser, wearing her new glam and cheering. The camera is angled to fit her whole glam but also get a close up of her face. /end ID]

Note: you can apply/change what you're wearing in any sanctuary (denoted by a little crescent moon by the exp bar) but you can only change the plates themselves in the glam dresser in inn rooms. you can also mix and match so if one glam is missing pants and you want pants from another, apply the pants one first, and then the one you want the rest of, and the pantlessness won't overwrite while everything else will.

Also: because of that last point, if there is something that you want to never show up with this glam, you want to get the Emperor's New [gear type] for it and you only need one ring for both slots. (I have bought a second unnecessarily so many times.) I generally get all of the accessories on most of my alts because I just don't really like how most in game jewelry looks. There are plenty of people who use this to run around shirtless. Get creative. They're craftable and available on the market board. sometimes they're relatively cheap, sometimes they're not.

Witch’s Castle: Level 15

Moves: 32

🎯 Potions: 26

Rewards: 1 Golden Star Jelly, 50+160 Coins, 3 Crushing Boulders

⚙️ The Crushing Boulder is introduced in this level. It acts as a vertical counterpart of the Star Bow, although each one has its own unique role. As for the level itself, the tutorial use for the Boulder removes 8 Potions, leaving you with 18 to play with. This is also one of the first levels to introduce gaps in the center of the board or otherwise, making the board harder to match around.

This level *should* be the first level where you can freely use Cookie Skills and other Cookies at your own pace (and life gauge expenses) if you use Golden Star Jellies as soon as you get them.

Potions and other jellies will fall through open gaps if the space beneath said gap is cleared, but these gaps can’t be reclaimed or filled by any means. Moving the Potions below these gaps in this level is vital, as it makes them easier to clear out with manual moves compared to skills and power jellies.

Puzzle Item - Crushing Boulder: Clears out a chosen column of jellies, destroying obstacles and breakable objectives in the way. Super effective at opening up columns to work with, as well as paving a way for Pretzel Keys. Useful for removing columns of junk jellies you know you can’t manually pop.

I think a very fun red nose day sketch or little online special for Doctor Who would be jumping back and forth between 15 and 14 with 15 in like super high stakes scenarios facing down monsters and what not and then they're like "of course the other Doctor is facing the same level of trials" and it's 14 calling Rose Noble to let her know the cafe is out of soy milk, would almond be okay for her coffee? And the dawning horror that he does actually need reading glasses. It ends with them together and 15 being like "that sounds awful glad I'm not going through that" with complete sincerity. BBC this is all yours for free babey

#again i cannot stress enough that 15 facing down a dalek should be played as being the same level of intense #as 14 bumping into Nerys at Aldi's #fourteenth doctor #fifteenth doctor #doctor who

What was the first nickname you remember giving a Pokemon?

For me I remember my Blaziken was named “MAGMA MAN”, he was a level 76 amidst my other level 35s and I had no idea why I couldn’t beat the Elite Four

#reminiscing on my first pokemon playthrough #this is the same one where i didnt know how to get past team aqua at slateport #and i thought theyd only move when my pokemon were a high enough level #leading to me eventually beating up the level 15s with my level 40 MAGMA MAN #i might just make the story of my first playthrough its own post

(from @witchhakuba it won't let me switch accs) we've seen saguru and tiny kaito. but what about kaito and tiny saguru? 👀

Ahhhh thank you for the ask and sorry I took so long to reply (I was sick 🤒)

Buttttt god, thank you for giving me the excuse to draw tiny Saguru 😘😘😘

Imo, if Saguru were to be drugged with APTX4689, it would be because he stumbled upon the Black Org at a heist and stepped in as they were about to harm Kaito. Kaito brought him home and they work together to find the antidote (and pandora). Now, instead of chasing after KID, Hakuba is put into a position where he has to cover up KID’s trail against other detectives (which he will have moral crisises about) and fend off the Black Org.

(Kaito becomes very protective of Tiny-guru because he felt guilty Hakuba’s drugged because of him).

Hakuba’s alias would be something like Arthur LeBlanc (Arthur Conan Doyle and Maurice LeBlanc - author of Arsene Lupin and Blanc means white, which Saguru took quite an offense to, but hey, Kaito’s the one forging documents here 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Unlike Conan, I don’t think Hakuba would let his parents know about his predicament. He doesn’t seem to be close with his parents and wouldn’t want to bother/endanger them. Each of his parents just thought he was staying with the other one. At most, he tells Bayaa.

Arthur enrolled into the same primary school as Conan, and immediately arose suspicion when the Detective Boys arrived at a murder scene only to be informed that the crime has already been solved by another first grader. Ai Haibara, especially, did not trust him and avoid Arthur at all costs. Conan further suspect him when Arthur shows up at every heist.

Ahhhhh please feed me more ideas! This was fun. I’d likely draw more atpx!Hakuba in the future!

Eddie’s doing some dumb trick with a couple of wooden spoons, clever hands making them move through the air in improbable ways, and Steve’s about to bite his whisk in half.

He’d thought for sure that Eddie would be going home the first week; Edward Munson, 29, bartender/musician from Brighton with mismatched tattoos and wild hair, seemed like exactly the kind of pretentious asshole who would flame out early with some ill-advised hipster experimentation. If Steve (28, social worker from Indiana, USA) had been a complete asshole, he’d have said that Eddie didn’t have the fundamentals. That he was all sizzle, no steak.

It’s a good thing Steve’s not a complete asshole, because Eddie’s been blowing the technicals out of the water so consistently it’s actually pretty fucking embarrassing. His signatures and showstoppers are making a very respectable showing too, except for the time he tried to incorporate some fresh pandan extract and fucked up the liquid ratio, leaving him with a dripping mess that Mary’d declined to even try.

Afterwards, Steve had seen him leaning against a tree and struggling to light a cigarette. Steve went over for no particular reason, flicking on his lighter and holding it out like a peace offering. Eddie looked at him warily, but bent over the offered flame.

“Can’t believe I made it through this one,” Eddie said after a moment, white smoke curling out of his mouth.

“Yeah, I feel like that every week.” Steve leaned against the tree next to Eddie. It was a big tree, the kind that’s probably been growing in this field since before England was even England.

“Nah, but—c’mon, you know what I mean.”

“You had some bad luck with your showstopper. Happens to the best of us, man. Your signature hand pies looked sick as hell.” Steve’s own hand pies had turned out pretty well, so he was feeling generous. It had only been the third week; plenty of time for Steve to snag Star Baker, though even by that point, Steve had been getting the creeping feeling that he was being a little too American about the whole thing. Everyone else seemed to think competitiveness was some kind of deadly sin. It was—actually kind of nice, to get the same kind of nerves he’d always gotten before high school basketball games, but know that he wasn’t really fighting against anyone except himself in the tent.

Anyway, the very next week, Eddie had done some kind of kickass gothic castle with a shiny chocolate dragon and gotten Star Baker for the second time. Steve had clapped him on the back, appropriately manly. Eddie had pulled Steve into a real hug, arms tight around Steve’s shoulders and his whole lean body pressed up close and warm. It had only lasted a moment, and then Eddie had bounded over to Mel and Sue, both of whom he’s been thoroughly charming since the get-go.

Steve thinks that when this season—or, uh, series—airs, no matter where Eddie places, the entire country is going to be just as charmed. Eddie’s going to get whatever kind of cookbook deal or streaming show he wants. Sponsors will take one look at that handsome face and charismatic grin, and a whole world of possibilities is going to open up for Eddie.

Steve’s not in it for any of that, of course. He’s here kind of by accident, because Robin pushed him to apply, and it’s a goddamn miracle he’s been holding his own. Hell, it’s a miracle he’s in this country at all. When Robin had started looking at the Cambridge MPhil program in linguistics, she’d said wouldn’t it be great if and he’d snorted, yeah right, like I could ever get whatever job I’d need to move to another freaking country, but then—well. Things had happened the way they’d happened, and now Robin’s almost finished with her degree and Steve is taking time off from the London charity he works at in order to be on Bake Off.

He’s told all this to the cameras, plus the stuff about how baking started as a way for him to connect with the kids he used to babysit in Indiana, blah blah blah. He thinks it’s probably too boring for them to air, but he gets that they have to try to get a story anyway.

Eddie Munson, on the other hand, is probably going to be featured in all the series promos. Steve is rabidly curious about what Eddie’s story is, but he hasn’t worked up the nerve to just ask. It should be the easiest thing in the world. They’ve got kind of a camaraderie going, the two of them; a bit of a bromance, as Mel’s put it more than once.

It’s true they get along pretty well, and the cameras have been picking up on it: on the way Eddie’ll wander over to Steve’s bench like a stray cat whenever they get some downtime, how they wind up horsing around sometimes, working off leftover adrenaline from the frantic rush of caramelization or whatever. There’s the time Eddie had hopped up on a stool to deliver some kind of speech from Macbeth, of all things, and overbalanced right onto Steve, who had barely managed to keep them both from careening into a stand mixer. Sue had patted Eddie on the shoulder and said, “Well, boys, that’ll be going in the episode for sure.”

They both get along with the other contestants just fine, of course, but they’re two guys of about the same age with no wife and kids waiting at home. It’s only natural that they’re gravitating together, becoming something like friends, Steve figures. It’s pretty great that he’s getting at least one real friend out of this whole thing.

It would be even greater if Steve could stop thinking about Eddie’s hands in decidedly non-friendly ways. With all the paperwork he’s signed, he can’t even complain to Robin about how Eddie looks with his sleeves pushed up to show off the tattoos on his forearms, kneading dough and grunting a little under his breath with effort. Steve had almost forgotten to pre-heat his oven that day.

Two benches away, Eddie fumbles the spoons he’s been juggling with a clatter, and he bursts out laughing, glancing over at Steve like Steve’s in on the joke. Steve grins back, heart twanging painfully in his chest, and thinks: well, fuck. Guess this is happening.

#this is a TRULY bonkers AU like wtf even is the venn diagram of steddie fans and people who exclusively like the BBC GBBO #I know nothing about the process of creating reality tv so I most likely will not be continuing this #(plus ST is just so intrinsically American to me)#but I saw the GBBO musical last week and that's what prompted this little abomination #steddie #GBBO AU #ETA: ftr I rated the GBBO musical 2.5/5. I have a colour-coded spreadsheet.#decent songwriting & solid performances but the emotional beats/pacing were all over the place and it did some weird revisionist callbacks #plus the level of assumed thirst for not!Paul Hollywood was wildly off-putting to me #a person who finds neither his personality nor his appearance in any way attractive #anyway I paid £15 for my ticket and that felt right to me. I will see literally any show for £15.

Bad gays как-то попали в закулисье #12

Switch to English

стр.11

стр.13

Мне показалось, что вдохновение иссякло, но нет! Я так рада этому факту! Рада, что у меня есть силы рисовать и писать историю дальше.

На моей работе часто нужно перерабатывать, так что времени после смены остается только чтобы поесть и поспать. Для исследования вики и рисования почти нет времени. Звучит не очень хорошо, но сама работа несложная и у меня будут деньги для жизни🤷‍♀️

Я прочла довольно много уровней за последнее время. Вижу, что многое изменилось с того времени, как я интересовалась этой темой в прошлый раз.

Продолжаю свой эксперимент с разметкой теста от лица разных персонажей =)

Уровень 5 был неплох. В смысле, это все еще было место неопределенного размера со случайным набором комнат. Но к лименальным пространствам все они уже начали привыкать, а изящная дорогая мебель и дизайнерские интерьеры радовали глаз. Особенно после безликих комнат предыдущих уровней. Не радовало только наличие людей неподалеку. Их не было видно, но сама мысль о них не давала расслабиться.

🌙 Для Найтмера это место было ценно как первый удобный уровень-перекресток. Он также надеялся встретиться с Обществом Затерянного Зала, о котором говорила база знаний. Эта встреча могла бы принести интересные сведения, если Найтмер мог бы заинтересовать их чем-либо. Но вместе с тем он не хотел наткнуться на местного дьявола. Эта встреча не сулила ничего хорошего для его подопечных. Оставалось надеяться, что существо навещало только полусумасшедших одиночек (Найтмер смотрел на нить, которая делала его команду частью Эррора в глазах Закулисья, и подсчитал общий уровень получившегося здравомыслия. Результат не был плачевным. У него всё под контролем).

Также становилось очевидным, что этот мир оставляет на его подопечных свой отпечаток. Они изменялись тем же путем, что и Найтмер. Постепенно. Почти незаметно. Он старался следить, чтобы это не вредило их общей цели. Правда, в случае Даста эти изменения оказались позитивны и не заставляли беспокоиться (Найтмер опасался того, что Даст мог бы вернуться к болтовне с галлюцинациями). Тем более, Смертомоль встречалась часто и являлась достаточно разумной, чтобы немного подпитывать негатив Найтмера. Насекомые не обладали достаточно сильными эмоциями, но их было просто спровоцировать внешним воздействием.

🦴Даст ощущал сильную усталость и провалился в сон в тот момент, когда сел в одно из комфортных мягких кресел. Снующие под одеждой насекомые уже совершенно его не беспокоили, и щекотка их лапок становилась приятной и комфортной. Мотыльки мирно парили над головой, влетали в череп, как сны.

Отдых хорошо повлиял на его моральное состояние, пробудив голод. Даст осознал, как нерегулярно питался. Это объясняло такую сильную измотанность и слабость. Из-за стресса он не прислушивался к потребностям тела и довольно долго голодал.

Хоррор великодушно сделал ему бутерброд, а Киллер (у него тоже был бутерброд в руках) поделился горстью сладких Семян Флауи. Даст давно не ощущал себя так хорошо. Но на Миндальную Воду смотреть было все еще тошно. Он выпил совсем немного, отдав остатки жидкости Смертомоли, что следовали за ним стайкой.

Мех у основания их крыльев напоминал кошачью шерсть. Даст не отказал себе в удовольствии аккуратно пройтись по нему пальцами.

⛔Эррор решил вплотную заняться изучением окружающего его кода. Если на ранних уровнях код выглядел не особо сложным (это была тренировка?), то сейчас казалось, что некоторые части стали для него недоступны: ссылки вели на пустые ячейки памяти, значения переменных брались ниоткуда и непредсказуемо изменялись внутри циклов (это не выглядело работающим). Понимать происходящее становилось сложнее. Это требовало сосредоточения.

Увлеченный, Эррор не сразу заметил опасность. Сначала ему показалось будто кто-то коснулся его. Он уже готовился разразиться бранью, как обнаружил, что никого рядом не оказалось. Это был не "Кто-то", а "Что-то". Сквозь пространство пронесся еще один странный импульс, задевший разбросанные по окружающему пространству синие струны. Найтмер, казалось, тоже ощутил это, если судить по ряби на его жидком покрове и настороженному взгляду. Эррор пустил еще больше струн по комнате (он огрызнулся на попытки остальных узнать, что он делает. Группа сразу насторожилась, а Хоррор разбудил Кросса), пытаясь собрать больше данных о векторе движения этого импульса. Это напоминало нарастающий ветер, но при этом не взаимодействовало с предметами напрямую. То же самое можно ощутить во время быстрого падения. Щекочущее ощущение во внутренностях.

Когда он раскрыл редактор кода, там происходило нечто странное с координатами (не то чтобы эти константы были в порядке раньше). Прямо на глазах неизвестный программист создавал цикл для подсчёта уравнения для... Ого. Прямо сейчас через их комнату проходило другое пространство. Вернее, даже не комнату, а одну из точек на её плоскости. Словно бесконечный шёлковый платок через маленькое серебряное кольцо. И эта точка перемещалась, расширялась, словно невидимый торнадо (на самом деле это приглашение). Теоретически это должно перемещать всё, чего оно коснётся, в другое место, но объекты пространства уровня 5 оставались на месте. Несколько синих струн лопнули.

Прежде чем Эррор смог предупредить остальных об опасности (ты преувеличиваешь), он впал в пе-....0%...

🪓Хоррор видел, как Эррор впал в перезагрузку, обычную для перехода на другой уровень, и успел схватиться за его чёрный пиджак. А затем в его повреждённом черепе зазвенело от удара о белый пол. Разрушитель врезался в его грудину мгновением позже. Рядом от неожиданности вскрикнул Кросс и выругался Даст. Киллер вёл себя достаточно тихо, хоть и что-то громко хрустнуло после его падения (это ведь не кости? Боже, пожалуйста, нет). Хоррор попытался повернуть голову, чтобы убедиться, но отключился.

⚔️ Кросс, наверное, впервые за всё пребывание в Закулисье смог найти комфортное место для сна. Ранее всё время приходилось спать на голом полу или опираясь на массивную фигуру Хоррора, который был тёплым и не имел ничего против частого тактильного контакта.

Когда его отдых был прерван, у него оставалось слишком мало времени на осознание ситуации. Он заметил напряженного Найтмера. И Хоррора рядом с Эррором. В следующую секунду что-то словно протащило его самого сквозь бутылочное горлышко (короткий путь ощущался похожим образом). Он летел вниз, как яд��о, пущенное из пушки.

Кросс сгруппировался и благодаря этому приземлился на ноги. В отличие от остальной группы.

Хоррор упал откровенно неудачно, придавленный бессознательным Эррором. Кросс поспешил перетащить Разрушителя подальше и осмотреть друга. Но всё казалось в порядке, никаких серьезных повреждений. Его поврежденный череп не разрушился сильнее, даже ХП оказался почти полным, пара царапин и ушиб. Кросс обернулся, чтобы увидеть остальных.

Найтмер обнаружился в отдалении, выглядящий дезориентированным. Его очертания казались нечеткими, а сам он привалился к стене (ему больно?). Но стоило Хранителю негатива поймать чужой взгляд, как он выпрямился и поспешно принял хладнокровный вид.

🔪Киллер упал на одну из ручных Смертомолей, сопровождающих Даста. Ее хитиновые крылья с громким хрустом треснули и уже окончательно оторвались, а несколько лапок были выгнуты в обратную сторону. Насекомое билось в агонии и мало что могло ему помочь. Сам скелет не пострадал и задумчиво следил за своей "подушкой безопасности". Даст напряженно замер, следя за раненной бабочкой. Но прежде чем он пришел к какому-либо решению, нож Киллера вонзился в Смертомоль, мгновенно прекращая ее мучения.

Даст абсолютно точно был готов его убить (жаль, что он сдержался). Что ж, это сделает жизнь Киллера интереснее, пока Дасти не остынет. Раньше его было трудно подначить на бой, но если жизнь пары бабочек позволит ему завладеть его вниманием... Киллер рассмотрит этот вариант в будущем. Интересно, найдет ли их группа еще какую-нибудь Странную экипировку? Было бы неплохо. Похоже, эти предметы позволяют делать забавные штуки.

Тем не менее, Даст забрал безжизненное тело насекомого. Он собрался его хоронить?

---- Группа позволила себе остаться на месте, пока все из них не придут в сознание, а затем двинулась вперед. В основном на пути были пустые белые коридоры с редкими запертыми проходами в лаборатории и производственные помещения. Судя по записям, они находились на уровне 15. И это было неприятно. На этом уровне не было каких-то понятных выходов, а способ, которым они сюда попали, сложно было назвать чем-то... воспроизводимым. Нет, серьезно, что за чёрт?

Одна из лабораторий была открыта. Внутри оказалось футуристическое медицинское оборудование, которым сразу попытался воспользоваться Даст. Удивительно, но это сработало! Мёртвое насекомое ожило, но его расцветка сменилась (эти цвета вызывали неприятные воспоминания).

Следующим значимым событием стал человек.

The secret to create healthy habits.

Motivation > discipline > consistency > habits. That's the process from start to finish, for changing your life around with healthy choices.

Motivation is only the launchpad to start with, after that you can't rely on it because it comes and goes on a whim! A lot of people make the mistake on relying on it all throughout, and then wonder why they can't stay on track while other people do.

What you need next is discipline: when you commit to something and stick to it even when it's hard, even when you don't feel like it, because that's how you fill the gaps inbetween to create a routine.

And you create a routine by staying consistent. Today, tomorrow, again and again.

When you stay consistent over months, over half a year, it becomes a habit, and when something becomes a habit, it's effortless to keep going because that is now your default setting. It becomes your new normal, the choice that comes easiest to make because you don't even have to make it or think it; you just lean back into it.

Going to the gym regularly becomes like having a meal; if you don't do it, you'll feel restless and off, genuinely craving the movement and the boost of endorphins. When you eat healthy regularly, you feel it right away if you get off track and indulge in too many treats: you'll feel it in your body, in your mental clarity, in your emotional wellbeing and it's so much easier getting back on track because healthy is your new default.

#level up #that girl #growth mindset #high value woman #healthy habits #glow up #motivation #i discussed this with my trainer and he said it's completely on point with his 10-15 yrs of experience #discipline #consistency #writings #articles #gym #exercise #lumen's diary

Level 15 - Out Of [Nation]

Congrats! There are a number of things that unlock here at level 15 that can be fun, exciting, or otherwise helpful. I'll start with the things that unlock with level and then the things that unlock only once story takes you out of your starter city. (I will be making a separate post in a bit about glams and dyes which also fall under this category.)

Hall of the Novice

if for no reason other than gear, please do HotN. the gear it gives you is solid through at least level 20, and still plenty usable up to 25-30 if you get nothing better from MSQ or job quests (tho you should be getting bits from both) and completion gives you a ring that gives you passive exp boost until level 30 plus it gives you exp in and of itself.

Okay I've pleaded, but what is it? HotN is a series of mini tutorials that teach you how to play your class type. there's Tank, Physical DPS, Magic DPS, and Healer classes and the gear for casters (magic dps) is the same as for healers so if you pick up a secondary class of the same basic type (being tank, magic, or physical dps) you can share gear but of another type you'll wanna go in to do the classes again if you want the gear. Which isn't so bad if you want/need to learn it.

You can pick it up the moment you hit level 15 in the adventurer's guild in your city state from the smith. They'll be wearing a light green robe with a special symbol above their head. Like this:

[Image ID: a hyuran man wearing a light green robe and skirt with white pants and boots. above his head is a large sprout symbol on top of a darker green background with a gold border /end ID]

All smiths are dressed similarly because that's the outfit you get from completion (although yours will be grey and undyable. there is a dyable version at level 50, however) and MSQ points you towards an actual physical place in game for the Hall later but you don't need to go there nor is anything there remotely necessary for doing the Hall via these guys.

The Dances

Each nation has a free dance that unlocks at level 15 with no other prerequisite. The emote loops and they're all kinda silly and cute, which is my theory as to why when parties idle in dungeons they often become dance parties.

There aren't a lot of dances or otherwise looping emotes in the game that you can get for little to nothing (most are cash shop now, and others have significant time investments) so if you want a fun dance these are the best option. You're not locked into only one either; you can get each as you go to each nation.

[Image ID: three screenshots of a quest synopsis and the quest's giver. From left to right there's Eral with the quest Saw That One Coming; "Eral has noticed a rare bit of excitement within the serene city-state and would share with you what he knows." Then Dodozan with Good For What Ales You; "There is a hectic flush of panic on Dodozan's face as he looks wildly about Hawker's Round." And then P'molminn with Help me, Lord of the Dance; "When P'molminn approaches, beware, for the impetuous Miqo'te always leads a merry dance." /end ID]

Gridania has the Harvest Dance (chat commands: /harvestdance or /hdance) with the quest given to you from Eral in the adventurer's guild near the door. This is a fun little side to side shuffle.

Limsa Lominsa has the Step Dance (chat commands: /stepdance or /sdance) with the quest given to you by Dodozan in the middle of Hawker's Alley (the markets). In my opinion, this is the silliest of the three quests and all the more reason to do it. It's a fun little, like, simple barrel dance (without the barrel of course).

and Uldah has the Ball Dance (chat commands: /balldance or /bdance) with P'molminn's quest in the Ruby Road Exchange. P'molminn has a soft spot in my heart for this quest and the quest says frankly bonkers shit about Ishgardian noble dances. The dance is a silly stationary little jumping thing.

Post Envoy

here starts the things you can only get once the Envoy quest has been completed but they show up immediately after: The Challenge Log, The Aesthtician, and The Gold Saucer.

The Aesthitician

[Image ID: A picture of S'dhodjbi next to the quest synopsis for Beauty Is Only Scalp Deep; "Rumors of a dangerous madman about town have S'dhodjbi ill at ease." /end ID]

This is unlocked in the Drowning Wench in Limsa Lominsa and gives you access to limited character tweaking for 2K gil (or a Jandelaine token of which there are only two of, counting the one from this quest). You can change hair color and style, face paint and a handful of other options but you can't change race, gender, skin or eye color, height, and the like; those are fantasia only changes.

Also? This man is batshit nuts and I love him so so very much. i'd suggest picking up this quest while you're in Limsa for It's Probably Pirates because it will make you hit all three nations- but MSQ will also do that via the next few quests so just keep it active and take small detours for it.

Challenge Log

While we're in Limsa, and in the Drowning Wench no less, we should also grab the Challenge Log from I'tolwann

[Image ID: screenshot of I'tolwann and the quest synopsis for Rising to the Challenge; "I'tolwann is ill pleased with the carelessness of the Wench's customers." /end ID]

The challenge log has a list of weekly challenges to meet organized by type. They're all pretty reasonable things that even the most casual player can still generally hit a few. The rewards are things like exp and gil which makes it a decent way to start building a bit of gil early on. Challenges get added to it as you get further in the game and/or unlock different things so feel free to check it periodically.

Again this is weekly. Weekly reset is Tuesdays at 12AM PST. That's 3AM EST/ 8AM GMT / 9AM CEST for easier calculation. For most people that means once you wake up on Tuesday the new week has started and the exact time doesn't matter (however I'm not included in that most and I'm sure plenty of others aren't as well.)

The Gold Saucer

This is basically your in game casino. Or your free airship to Ul'dah at the cost of an extra load screen if that's all you use it for. It unlocks from the Well-heeled Youth across from Ul'dah's aetheryte plaza

[image ID: Screenshot of the Well-heeled Youth next to the synopsis for It Could Happen to You; "A well-heeled youth on Emerald Avenue appears to have been the beneficiary of some good fortune, and may not be adverse to sharing it..." /end ID]

There is a lot here and I'mma make a series of posts for it in it's own right but if you are likely to collect glams or emotes you need to unlock it bc there is a lot sold for MGP (Gold Saucer currency) that you cannot get elsewhere but it's important to note that while the GS is modeled as a casino it is near impossible to lose more than you pay.

How the gold Saucer works is basically as a collection of minigames, a few of which have a cost for entry and the payout will at least get you your money back, if not money back plus some, even on a failure. And there is, frankly, a lot of different ways to earn MGP, so I feel like there is something everyone could enjoy, if they wish to engage with the GS.

However, even if nothing in the GS appeals to you, it is a free airship ride from anywhere in Eorzea, and from the GS you can airship to Ul'dah for free. So if you're a penny-pincher like me you can set your home point to Limsa or Gridania and be able to get both there and Ul'dah for free if you don't mind a couple extra load screens.
