PREQUEL suggestion box (thread 6)

[Vicalliose]

So I was listening to this a while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8lrySfghHw

It reminded of Katia (for numerous reasons) so I came to see if there was an update... I shed a manly tear.

[ProphetLord]

Katia: I'm disappointed in you. You went for the letter. You were going to lie to QW. You don't deserve her friendship.
You've admitted that you're a worthless failure, so go crawl in a ditch and wait til morning, go talk to Hirtel and tell him you're a failure.
Option two would be to drink whatever is in that bottle be it alcohol or poison, it's not like you have anything to loose.

Oh, and I think it's time to have yourself a nice long cry, we haven't seen you do that in a while and I'm getting inpatient.

(The following is not comic related, but forum related I guess)

Kaz: Post a larger version of this. I need a new wallpaper.

Kerzad> Stop padding the strip by repeating the same frame over and over. You can't have suspense when everyone already knows what's going to happen, so you might as well not even bother

It's a visual effect that gives the illusion of time passing. It's a visual alternative to "..."
It's better that way, so shut up and scroll past them. It's really not that hard to do.

Also, these may help for the future

We can't see those unless you upload them onto the internet first.

This is fucking stupid.<...> Whatever, I'm done.

Oh no, how will our lives go on without you?

[Alethea]

All this self-loathing is just the old, pre-Katia talking. People get robbed and taken advantage of the world over, do you blame them for their misfortune? No, so it's just silly to blame yourself.

Now, it sucks Clannfear feet that Sigrid just robbed you, but hey, at least she robbed you, Katia Monagan the wizard-in-training. You still have awesome light-shit-on-fire and knock-shit-over powers, you're still an up-and-coming Atronach.

Finally, you have stumbled on a pretty big deal going down in Kvatch. This lady is hypnotizing and fleecing the whole town! Think of friendly old Asotil, does he deserve to get mind-controlled and manipulated by Sigrid? No! She needs to go down.

If you came to your senses, why hasn't anyone else? Why hasn't Sigrid been run out of town yet? These are questions that need answering.

First step? Hunt down that weaselly Steve and find out what he knows.


(Yes, I totally signed up just now to give advice to a comic character)

[Funderful]

Are you a registered mail clerk? No. You do not take responsibility for the mail and who it "legally" belongs to. Sigrid has someone else's mail. That is a federal offense, because your signature is not credible on the document unless you work in a post office. You do not. Find a guard and tell him you got robbed. The mail that Sigrid has in her possession can be enough to have her arrested.

[The Urban Moose]

Alcohol may or may not be the only way out of this.

[Jacky Blaze]

>Use trash can as a hat to shield yourself from the rain.

[PumpkinMan]

Alcohol may or may not be the only way out of this.

But if she drinks it as depressed as she is now, she'll probably wake up in someone's bed as a result of a pathetic drunken attempt to get someone to act like they like her. If she does drink, she should be enraged at Sigrid for basically kneecapping her success. That way, instead of drunken sleeping around (which she wasn't/isn't proud of), there will be drunken rage. Might wake up in jail, but it'll feel a lot better than waking up having slept with some random stranger.

[ChetBetera]

Wow, this is our, what?, 3rd time we've encountered this exact same situation in as many days.
The only difference is now, now you are on your own.
No voices to help or hinder you.
Just you and yourself.
Alone.
Time to find out exactly who you are... Katia.

Subconscious: Shhhhhh. Be quiet. Be silent. Let our host make her own decisions. Let us see her for what she truly is, without our incessant meddling.

[catchTwentythree]

The only course of action now is to get drunk and go wreck that Argonian home.

Get to it, ja'khajiit.

[TheTurnipKing]

Katia: I'm disappointed in you. You went for the letter. You were going to lie to QW. You don't deserve her friendship.

Not gonna say that telling her how much of a miserable failure we are is something that we were cherishing the idea of having to do, but going for the letter is NOT the same thing as not telling her about the loss of the package.

And strictly speaking, we're not actually sure that Quill Weave is our friend. We'd be hers in a heartbeat, but for all we know, you're just some stupid stray she took pity on... twice. We don't know that there'll be a third time. And that's terrifying.

[Graknorke]

Katia: Get drunk and be totally aware of the stupid shit you proceed to do.

I still stand by my previous statement that it will be hilarious with her forming drunk-arguments against commands and then doing the worst possible things.
I feel like I've been dumped straight from the funny into the sad. Come on Kaz, give us some sort of inbetween sad-funny.

[mysticalMechanic]

Katia: Drink the few drops left in that bottle, get drunk, be completely wasted and pissed, crash into the guild, dismember Sigrid, paint the walls with her blood, then wake up in a hangover next to Stephane and with blood and innards on the walls, a quarterstaff struck through it like the sword back at QW's place.

Are you a registered mail clerk? No. You do not take responsibility for the mail and who it "legally" belongs to. Sigrid has someone else's mail. That is a federal offense, because your signature is not credible on the document unless you work in a post office. You do not. Find a guard and tell him you got robbed. The mail that Sigrid has in her possession can be enough to have her arrested.

Or this. This is actually pretty much the best idea there's been so far.

So obviously it will be utterly ignored by Katia, Kazerad, and just about everyone else.

[TheTurnipKing]

>Use trash can as a hat to shield yourself from the rain.

> NO.

Trash-hat is a stupid idea. We don't need a trash hat, and it will shield us from jack and shit.

Let's not do that, and just say we did.

[Bibliophael]

Interesting fact: Cyrodiilic guards have been known to accept bribes to look the other way, and in some reported instances have dropped charges altogether for a friend. It would be unwise to tell the authorities about Sigrid.

[Funderful]

C'est la vie.

Zoom in proves that's what she's doing. Sorry guys, no raging drunk on the horizon.

[Mr_Fergus]

>Be Nah, this shit is infuriatingly depressing.

[nickelangelo]

> Hope the bottle is full of alcohol, empty it on the wall of the mages’ guild, THEN use your fire magic. Let it all BURN.

[Degulus]

You can salvage this! You actually prepared yourself for the eventuality of fucking everything up this time! All you've lost is an "ironically" insulting gift and some paper (and a handful of gold and everything you own but let's face it, that stuff was mostly junk). You read the letter. If you can't deliver the letter itself, then just deliver it's message. It's better than nothing.

[Vicalliose]

You’re not Katia Managan. You’re not a budding wizard. You’re not even a real person.

You’re just some dumb stray animal that tries its goddamn hardest to please absolutely anyone and always fucks up anyway.

Everyone has a name Ja'Khajiit. Even the lowest of the low have a name.

Ja'Khajiit: Enter name... Ma'Renrij perhaps?

This should mean "scum-child", however I do not know how to correctly write in Ta'agra, so this is likely an incorrect arrangement of the words. For instance it may be "Ma-Renrij" or "Renrij-Ma". The spelling I chose just made the most sense at the time. :/

On the other hand it can also mean "landless virgin"...

[arcanineryu]

DO NOT BREAK DOWN!!!! you can still fix this, but you have to stay mad, and you have to stay focused. remember, you are still a wizard, and you still have ally's, so to speak. Go to the authority's, or one in particular who would be all too eager to help you take down a dirty thief, regardless of whatever paperwork you might have signed. And don't forget the vampire, who would probably be willing to exchange certain necessary equipment for the one thing you have left, blood. And you are still a wizard, with the magic powers to take down a few weak monsters that may have things you can sell.
you still have options to make her pay, but you have to avoid blaming yourself. for once it wasn't you that screwed things up, this time the blame rests solely on Sigrid. So Go. Get. Even.

[hostergaard]

...




Katia! Nooo!

You are not a failure! You did nothing wrong! You where just a little too trusting, no can fault you for believing in people. You still got your magic, no one can take that from you! Remember what you promised yourself?

"Well… okay, you admit you’re kinda jumping the crossbow a bit. You guess there’s still a zillion ways this could backfire disastrously, probably resulting in you not only getting turned down but making a total fool of yourself in front of everyone. Maybe you’ll set your tail on fire, or run out of shitty puns at a crucial moment, or just freeze up as soon as they ask you to show your skills.


But… you think you’ve earned the right to get your hopes up a little. There’s a chance that you, Katia Managan, could literally be a card-carrying Mages Guild member by the end of today. Even if it’s not guaranteed, it’s a very real chance. It feels good to think about that. That your biggest success yet could be right around the corner.

And if it doesn’t work out… you’ll be disappointed, sure, especially after getting your hopes up. But you’ll deal with it. You’ll buy a room at the inn, score dinner out of someone’s candy bowl, and resume your job-hunting as usual tomorrow. And if sad feelings strike and you start to feel like the only answer is to drown your sorrows in a bottle of whiskey, well…


You won’t."

It did not work out, but please look at what happened; you did only what is courteous and you did notice something was wrong. She used magics and alchemy to trick you and force you to hand over your stuff. You did not do it in free will, how can you possible be blamed for what was not your choice? That argonian kid mentioned her smelling strange and being really mean sometimes, you where not the first victim, but you did notice something was wrong and reacted on it. She had to use extra perfume to enthrall you! You are not dumb. Less dumb than all those who never noticed being influenced and are still under the effects of the potions.

You are a person because you fail sometimes, that is what being a person means; sometimes it means fucking up. And you try your goddamn hardest, take pride in that! You are far better of than you where before, sure you had your setbacks but you kept trying and moved forward despite all the mistakes. You are better than any person who have only met success just because of that, you have experienced failure and fucking up really bad yet you kept moving. You have had success despite all and for that you are stronger than a person like Sigrid. You fuck up but you honestly try your best, stand up and shout your defiance to a world that try to keep you back!

Now get yourself together and go to that church and get a warm meal and maybe robe if they have one to spare, if not you can always take the sheets in the crate outside the fighters guild and wrap around yourself.

Then have a nights sleep and by the morning have the healer fill up your magica, find a stick and go to the old man and get some training with blunt weapons, you got work to do! Then head over to the shop and ask if the lady still have that imp problem. Then solve that imp problem with your stick and your magic! Make sure to collect that Imp Gall.

You should be able to get a set of clothes as payment at least. Maybe try and see if you also can get a mortar and pestle as part of the payment and a little bit of food. Then you should be set to make a few basic potions, remember the recipes Sigrid taught you? Just mix whatever cheap food you can get your hands on, like corn, and sell the potions. Perhaps check up on those flowers your planted. If you got the gold to spare buy a little food at that inn with alchemy books and read them to learn some basic recipes.

If you run into Stephane make sure to talk to him, I still got a feel that we do not have the whole picture.

Its important that you do not give up!

[Streetwind]

Katia... look, the chapel is right over there. Literally next door to this house. Just go there, get dry, and sleep.

Don't think, or let constant arguments bounce back and forth in your head.
Don't try to please anyone.
Don't run off on some crazy plan (or even worse, without a plan).

Just find yourself a place to sleep.

[Pirox]

NO, YOU ARE NOT. Ok, is true that you are fucking dumber than a rock, stinks as a wet cat in the rain, moves the tail at the tiniest compliment, and you fucked hard,so very fucking hard. But look at your neck, you still have the amulet. That is right, Sigrid could not take that from you, because you did not let her, using your magic even you did not know. Like it or not, you are naive and inexperienced, but you have great potential. You are a mage, you are Katia Managan, and you must have to recover a letter for your best friend, Quil-Weave.

So please, this time, even is painful and sorrowful, stand up and go on. Believe in yourself.

[kalkan]

You thought you could just start over, didn't you? You really thought you could make your life better. Well, you were wrong then and you're wrong now. Look at yourself! You don't have a shred of clothing or even a single septim to your name. And for that matter, what good is your name if no one cares to repeat it? Think about it. Quill-weave doesn't need you, not when she finds out how you've ruined everything. Asotil will go on without you. Sigrid will do more with your belongings than you ever could. No one cares about you. You're homeless. A nobody. And yet you have the nerve to try and help others? Please. You can't even make yourself happy.

Face it, you can't be happy and you can't make other people happy. It's not something you're capable of. So isn't it about time that you stopped trying? It was stupid to even bother in the first place. You should run away from Kvatch, away from everyone and everything. That's what you did when you came to Cyrodiil, right? That's what you did when you came up with that silly name. That's not you. You've realized this. Running away is the only thing you're good at, so just go. Spare the townsfolk the trouble of chastising you for the lonely, pathetic beggar you really are. In fact, Tamriel would probably be a better place if you wandered off into the woods and disappeared. Wouldn't it?

Think. Wouldn't it?

Go.
