PREQUEL suggestion box (thread 6)

[Dunc]

I posted an rant for Katia, but in the wrong place! Here it is again, with some touch ups.

MANAGAN! Think straight, and rage! Yell every other word that it pleases you to express this, unsated, unexpressed against heart, made QUIET, by THOSE WORDS, meant to silence will, oh wrathful quiet smoldering be still with this yet unfulfilled, waiting for a step to stalk to pounce to feast. That rat of a nord goddess is a thief. That pile of rat’s hoard is forfeit. A ratking’s hoard never eaten, largess of generosity for a queen’s heart, this RAT of women! Oh, that rat of a nord goddess, feasting on the generosity of all she treats as animals, as blinkered prey. Thieves’ code for code’s thieves, and each little unknown theft lost to HER history. And you think you know very well in your bones that not a peck of talk will do.

Knowledge, cures, turning daggers, wrath. Antidotes, all round, just maybe. Just how might you away stalking in the night into her heart, with it out again. Recipes, recipes, a bender of a herb, a bit of ashes from a friend’s urn, and an old winter’s teeth. What was that? Is she a keeper in her own mind secrets, oh she is I think, so cluttered, every bit convenient, give her something to forget, and readiness sieze her in the moment of her terror. No. No, too fixings, maybe just a touch is needed. Oh righteous fury of this one deciding motion acting ruthless, doom this rat to a smoking hell, befret of all she stocks for rainy days.

Oh but will just a sneak about do? How flexible her might, how predicted, how crude, how…. labelled? convenient but scattered is she?… A distraction? A caught hanging, or a made use? ….

….

There’s probably actually a really really good reason for the locked door. How the crap is thi- If it’s- then m- No. No. That would be dumb. They’re only equally matched eternal nemeses in-

…

I wonder if -

The very ambitious fools would come back with more to give if they w- Would she gladly take more and put it to proof of docility? Risky to, maybe risky to come out with the look of I’m not fooled any longer, but I don’t seem to mind yet. How would she expect of it?

Good reasons to hate potions after all? What’s our doctor’s thoughts?

Did she really say the somethingest something for all those nice things she was?

[Klonoa]

Katia! check for your lockpick! you didn't give that away right!? If not, you may have a way back in when the time is right!

[DavidArgall]

Speaking of the plot... has anyone ever asked what year it is? It would really help to gauge Katia's impending doom.

It is 341-3. In 341, Necromancy is outlawed. In 343, this city gets attacked. I have heard claims that the attack is only a week away, but I have not seen any evidence of this. Or evidence rejecting it either.

[Evil Argonian]

Katia: Pull lockpick out of skin like in Con-Air.
Shenanigans: Ensue.

[Xeivous]

It is 341-3. In 341, Necromancy is outlawed. In 343, this city gets attacked. I have heard claims that the attack is only a week away, but I have not seen any evidence of this. Or evidence rejecting it either.

Talk to the mythic dawn member outside the city in the flash, also all the flammable stuff. Strong foreshadowing my friend.

[KathiWithAnI]

Actually, it's 433. Katia was born in 413, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't know how to time travel.

[JJA]

I guess it's worth reposting this:

Katia was born in 8th of Sun’s Dusk, 413 (November) and is over 19 years old. If we take her statement literally, her old life was 19 years in duration and her new has been three days - now four. This would put the current date as 12th of Sun's Dusk, 432, with almost a year to go before Oblivion starts. However, the current season is definitely not winter and probably not late fall, so we can assume that Katia was speaking loosely and that the current year is 433 and the season is spring or summer...

... Or early fall. Combining this with the statements of the Mythic Dawn cultist in the Kvatch mini-game (that he meant to get here a little early and got the wrong week), we can assume that the fall of Kvatch is roughly a week away, though Katia still prefers not to muse about the exact date. This is likely because Kazerad wants to maintain the suspense, and more power to him.

[Rainbowfox15]

do you still have your lockpick?

[DestinedFateX]

Katia: Using you lockpick, unlock and unravel the concept of reality and become a goddess.
Alternately, become an assistant to the Embodiment of Hope, what/whoever that is...

[Sajuro]

Katia: Realize you are not just any Kahjiit but the Nyanvokin and unleash your mighty voice upon the Mage's Guild: Meow,Meow,NYA!

[catchTwentythree]

Katia: Realize you are not just any Kahjiit but the Nyanvokin and unleash your mighty voice upon the Mage's Guild: Meow,Meow,NYA!

I believe you mean the Donyahkiin.

[Chowder]

Would it be in bad taste to state that I belive I'm in love now?

I hope not, because that's kind of gigantically awesome

[Kazerad]

IN THIS EPISODE: katia listens to a voice in her head that calls itself Fatty Tatties.

Only in Prequel, folks.


But seriously sorry about the delays on this (relatively simple) page. I'd blame the animations taking longer than I anticipated or an overload of schoolwork, but really it was 90% video games and funny cat videos.

[PumpkinMan]

> Alright, you're kind of naked and it's starting to rain. Maybe you should try going to the church, see if they'll let you stay out of the rain, maybe borrow some clothes. Got to come up with a plan to get your stuff back.

Also, don't beat yourself up too much over this. Considering all the ideas us head voices have been tossing at you, apparently we aren't much better at good decision making. We are pretty convincing, though, so you've got that going for you. You can probably convince someone to lend you some extra robes with that kind of charisma. Maybe see if you can get them out of Sigrid's influence.

[BenTheCoder]

Katia: You should look for some clothes or shelter. Those "paint-ons" might wash off in the rain.

[zimmianZisk]

Katia, go to the church first. This isn't about asking for divine intervention, though you may want to ask Stendar for help, what with all his mercy and such. This is about a practical solution to at least one complex problem. Surely they will, at the very least, provide a roof over your head for one night in the rain? Perhaps they will also have food, clothes, and/or healing magic. You can accost hirtel for a new letter, or even the old one, tomorrow.

[Snowmanne]

>Lights: Come from Stephan
>Stephan: be rebelling against that bluh bluh huge witch

[Vins]

Oh gosh, quick get that letter!
----------------------------------
Alright, the chapel looks very inviting at the moment. Let's go there and see if we can stay for the night, shall we?
----------------------------------
Try to vent with one of them about what you went through. Generally it helps feeling better, and you might get a word of advise.

[Godbot]

So, uh...

That kind of paint you're wearing doesn't wash off, does it?

[Kazerad]

I made a list of possible scenarios from this point on!

GUESS WHICH ONE ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

This elicited much laughter from me. Not just the writing and idea but also that amazing Katia pose/expression.

There. This will make my suggestion work even better.

Perfection~ Now on to different matters.

NSFW warnings, Squigs! There are innocent children here.

No, she has it because she is a bad ass that went onto the enemy's territory (water) for no foreseeable monetary gain! She should be respected.

That said, Katia should take the clothes issue first, while hanging out in your undies is not technically illegal, it is frowned upon and not something a respectful lady would do, so I drew you up this handy guide to clothing ~A how to: pick covering~

Rest in peace, lockpick Well, it's just MIA

This is funny but I think we all know how it would turn out.

An Atronach had been abandoned. Had been tossed aside. Had been robbed. An atronach had been all this, and too many times.
A clawed palm ripped links from it's neck, and an anger became a rage. As fur turned to flame and flesh to an inferno, as claws turned to molten rock and feet rose from cobbled streets, this rage became a link to planes beyond Nirn's own, the first link to these barren wastes of a series of larger. In another place at the same moment, a mace broke through skull, and life slipped from the wielder of the shield from the fiery infernos. And so as paint burned so fast as to turn to solid stone, and eyes melted into pure magick flames, the Atronach burst through tender, aged wood, in a rage to consume the city. Charred wood flew as a white explosion flashed, and with limbs raised skyward, palms open wide, the Atronach held burning magicka essence. At that moment, three similar links were made just outside, to be followed with another larger than the rest. An invasion of property and an invasion of a city. An inferno of rage, and an inferno of destruction. It was at that moment when an Atronach became a Fire Atronach, and a planet became a battleground.

Wow. I can't even believe what I've just done.

You have created a monster! And I approve of your doing so. Now I pretty much HAVE to have her go Carrie eventually.

Oh yah...

Almost perfect. We just need to tweak the lyrics:


Somewhere in Elsweyr, upon a moonlit dune
My love is walking, and singing this same tune

Somewhere in Elsweyr, far from these human lands
My mate seeks for my scent across the hot bright sands

And even though he's almost half of Tamriel away
We both perceive the mana streaming from the Ja'Kha'Jay

And when we meet we'll mesh just like Ahnurr and Fadomai
We'll build a den together underneath Kenarthi's sky

Somewhere in Elsweyr, if Nirni lets us through
There my love will teach me in Ta'agra
To say "I love you"


(The next image should be Katia ducking and running from the hail of boots being flung from windows.)

(Come to dwell on it, she can make some good money this way. Katia: Sing under windows until sleepy people hurl their shoes at you. Collect shoes and sell them. Profit!)

I'll do one better!

I am having childhood flashbacks to watching old Don Bluth movies on Cartoon Network! But seriously this is really funny, for a brief fraction of a moment I almost considered having it actually happen before realizing that would kind of negate all real plot direction here. But still, it was a moment!

Gonna leave this here...

Hahaha, Katia where did you ever find people to hold flags for you??

(I like your faux-Russian text, is that a typeface or done yourself?)

So we're given a choice here

I think I'd rather have Katia be sad and naked than be a creepy "Perfectly normal Khajiit"

Hey, what's wrong with being a perfectly normal Khajiit who enjoys normal Khajiit foods, such as meat and vegetables (and most definitely not blood)? Surely you don't wish to insinuate anything about perfectly normal Khajiit, because that would be utterly preposterous.

Katia,

It is clear what you must do.

BEST NIGHT EVER.

(This is a suggestion, by the way.)

Hahaha, oh god, that thing again. I'm sure it will be back.

Though for the record, I don't really get involved with the hat thing in TF2. I have one hat I wear across every class, and it is a positively hideous salmon-colored gibus.

I was filled with a desire to see Katia's possessions restored and some hilarious, fire-based comeuppance befall the guild.

As others have said, everything about this is pretty awesome. Especially the expressions, and the very fact she is riding the clannfear (who the kids are calling Eepy these days?). I think at this point I am pretty much obligated to have him come back at some point or other.

[Galloglasses]

Ok guys lets seriously consider this.

Katia is all manner of fucked right now.

Cold, naked, alone and nobody will believe her Sigrid just robbed her blind, quill weave will probably not think highly of her return, ASOTIL would probably just fall under Sigrid's illusion if Katia sought help from him and even if she did get back to quill weave, carrying the old letter she had on the way, The Orc will just come along and ruin her day and steal the letter for whatever reason.

You know this is true

This is the moment the entire adventure has been building up for.

Katia is a pyromancer

Kvatch burns down

Mythic Dawn cultist outside

Lets get this shit started.

[Red-Rock-Run]

Here's something to think about:

That charlatan of a mage is an alchemist that made a potion of increase personality, speechcraft, or both, and distilled it into a perfume. I've heard people get away with that garbage in House Telvanni and the College of Winterhold, but House Telvanni is nothing but power crazed psychopaths, and Winterhold is full of ostracized Dunmer wizards and Nords. Nords, Katia! Have you ever seen a Nord mage? Guess what. One just robbed you blind. Nords hate mages so much, that the only ones who still practice magic are insane sociopaths that care more about burning down villages, summoning Daedric slaves, raising the dead, and obsessively hording magical artifacts than they do aiding society. But this isn't Morrowind or Skyrim. This is Cyrodiil, damnit! This kind of corruption shouldn't be allowed to exist in the very heart of the Emprie! Honestly though, it's only a matter of time before those Winterhold mages blow up the entire city in some ego-driven scheme. If you ever see a Nord mage again, high tail it.

So what do you do now? How do you beat a mage? You could go ask Asotil for help, but he'd probably spout some Legion bureaucratic rubbish at you. You could suck up your phobias and head to the castle to personally talk to Count Goldwine, but face it; Sigrid's been at this act for awhile now, and you're easily the latest of a few hundred people she's conned. Accusing her of anything will just get you kicked out of town on your fuzzy yellow behind. The only thing that can truly best a mage is another mage, and I hate to break it to you, but you're not a mage; at least not of the skill required to take down someone like Sigrid. You have three options:

1. Go back to Anvil and enlist the mages there. Every other guild hates the Kvatch guild, so I'm sure they're dying for an excuse to sack the place for good.
2. Find your friendly vampire pal. Guess how vampires with their deformities have survived in Cyrodiil. Vampiric charisma. Fight fire with fire. Also tell her that Sigrid is abusing potions. She haaaaaates potions.
3. There is a hooded individual outside town. He's wearing a robe, so he must be a mage. It's a rule. He's not been living in town. That means that he's not yet been affected by Sigrid's potion. Ask him if he has friends. Even hedge wizards stick together. Get his friends and him together AND BURN THAT MOTHER TO THE GROUND! You heard me! Give Sigrid a little taste of Skyrim culture, and burn her goddamn hall! Surely once the ashes settle the spell she's woven on Kvatch will lift, and you'll be a hero. Hell, the mage and his friends might even let you join them in their fantastic adventures!

[MWK]

I think we should get this over with!
