Okay, first things first! I did not get through the whole myth - the bane of my current existance is that i only have a few hours after i get home from work to devote to shit i want to do, and i ran out of time and didn't want to push it too far past bedtime and suffer a lack of attention span and a cranky morning. i believe i got to... stage 6? we attended another festival in town and i think we might be falling in love.. maybe. we've realized that Rafayel likes praise, that he is quite caring and solicitous when he thinks nobody is looking, and i am apparently turning into a mermaid? this "wound" i sustained during the raid on the Sea God's Tomb is doing something to my body anyways.
so i will read just that far into your reaction post!
I also just jumped right into the pulling! As mentioned in the other thread, I got a couple of 4* solar cards for Caleb and one 5* solar for Zayne so that was a nice little side outcome. I didn't have any solar cards for either of them so maybe I can progress in the Orbits a little farther after leveling them.
Holy shit yes, playing the companion is something else! I read the combat skills (and their synergies between the different things) and was promptly overwhelm. that sucker is going to need a combat flow chart and/or "Lemurian Sea God For Dummies" video. so much lovely water!
MINI EVENT
City of Mirrors sounds so much better then Romirro. Why does the english localisation do so terribly sometimes?
Amnesia - its the new black. I kind of got the impression on this that Rafayel deliberately dumped his memories, possibly because they hurt so much. he seems fairly unbothered by it and while he's taking steps to reclaim his power, he doesn't appear to be hurrying or even all that invested. i also kind of think he's the one that chained himself, possibly as punishment for Lemuria's fall? or maybe it was some manifestation of the Deep Sea, to chastise its newest, most wayward avatar.
My God, he is soooo beautiful. The long hair suits him so, so well.
Seas to mountains, mountains to oceans... just seems like the sheer passage of time. he's been locked up forever and a day it sounds like. no wonder everybody forgot the guy; hard to be the priest of a religion where your God hasn't performed a miracle in several millennia.
I got my two sea god cards by pull 125, so i was right there with you nearly neck and neck. i bought up the cheap tickets, there's a free tickets that came with the event, the bonus twenty pulls that Infold handed out and the rest was red diamonds to the wall, bay-be! i had a cache built up so by the time the next event wanders through that i feel i gotta pull for, i should be okay on that one too. after that, i'll be scrabbling in the dirt with you.
MYTH
I know! Last ark?! Is it humanity's last city or.... just the last one one by this Blaec Sea or.. what?
That is a good point. I never even questioned that the humans had the Tome - it was obviously central to the religion from days gone past, with a chosen Bride each generation who could read from it and hand down the prophecies from on high. Maybe there are Lemurians hiding in the human population? shit, it just occurred to me - maybe that's why the "wound" the Bride takes later is causing her body to change and "flower".
Why is the world always on the brink of apocalypse when we wake up in it? Can't we become suddenly aware during a nice sunny afternoon, sitting sweetly on a picnic basket as some handsome man cuts off the crusts of the cucumber sandwiches before feeding them to us using his fingers?
Telepathy Level 2 : Converse With Sycophants
At the place of dusk and dawn is where Rafayel was found, after his predecessor had died, so that tracks. Also a comment somewhere in an Anecdote I believe about "a great burning under the eastern sea".
And yeah! For a Sea God, that DOES seem like a lot of worldly control. Then again, the sea is about to eat everything possibly out of loneliness, so that tracks.
yay, Sailor Moon! the bond is the knife, the knife is the bond. which i guess is why she needs that dagger later in the story during the scene that shall not yet be named.
i also was very pleased that our God is a vengeful God. actually, i have REALLY been enjoying the whole 'fuck humans' vibe the entire way. Rafayel is absolutely coming across as a deity with little compassion or interest in anything not pertaining to him or his Bride. I wonder how much of that is just Rafayel himself (he seems to care very little for people of any flavour, even the Lemurians who should be closest to him) and how much is the Deep Sea running through his veins. the Ocean really is too big to even notice people at all.
Taking the "weak curse" off by application of his fingers to our face and ripping it off like an ill fitting mask was OUTSTANDING. please, we need to recruit an artist.

and i am out of time (again). we will pick up commentary and popcorn on Chapter 3 at work, because it will be nice and slow today. SOOOO nice and slow today.
