26-03-26 00:09:44: Soma: Hello!
26-03-26 00:10:26: Coyote: I'm here!
26-03-26 00:14:20: Soma: Welcome!
26-03-26 00:15:05: Coyote: Test test
26-03-26 00:15:10: Coyote: Spawn works good
26-03-26 00:15:56: Soma: Hooray!
26-03-26 16:47:10: Soma: hello!
26-03-26 16:49:49: Coyote: Good morning!
26-03-26 16:50:04: Soma: My name short list is coming along!
26-03-26 16:50:11: Soma: How are you doing?
26-03-26 16:50:24: Coyote: I stayed up too late reading. And then woke up in the middle of the night to what must have been all of the police cars in Orange County blaring their sirens down the freeway and read some more.
26-03-26 16:50:52: Soma: Oh no! You must be extremely tired :O
26-03-26 16:50:57: Coyote: And I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the separation of Seeming and Kith.
26-03-26 16:51:07: Coyote: I am not actually! But I will be XD
26-03-26 16:53:35: Soma: So, it's initially hard, but it makes sense when you get into it. Taking the Flowering, which is a pretty classic Fairest seeming from 1e, an Ogre might have the appearance of a stately oak, a Beast might appear to be an ape made of strangling fig vines, etc.
26-03-26 16:54:23: Soma: Then you can expand on that and see fairy tales and myths where creatures are described incongruently, which is where you can really have fun with the idea
26-03-26 16:55:20: Coyote: Hmm I did sorta grasp that and maybe I was making it more complicated in my head than it needed to be.
26-03-26 16:55:54: Soma: It's honestly what has put a lot of people off of 2e Changeling.
26-03-26 16:56:01: Soma: Weirdly, like this one thing.
26-03-26 16:56:12: Soma: It put *me* off 2e changeling for a long time!
26-03-26 16:56:24: Coyote: Like I was just throwing out some island-themed ideas, and a shark selkie came up, but that wouldn't have to be a beast. It could be an ogre, or even a more alien fairest.
26-03-26 16:57:44: Soma: In Tahitian or Fijian myth (so not Hawaiian but in the broader cultural sense) there was a royal family who were all rumored to be able to transform into sharks due to their connection to the spirits
26-03-26 16:58:00: Soma: Royalty tends to lean Fairest, so you could easily couple those two things together
26-03-26 16:58:26: Coyote: Huh!
26-03-26 16:58:44: Coyote: Usually not a sidhe/fairest sort but that could be fun.
26-03-26 16:59:06: Coyote: :moves that one up the list from experimental to potential.
26-03-26 17:00:39: Coyote: Especially playing counter to expectations of a sidhe sort by going shark. Like it's unnerving and somewhat alien but there is an undeniable beauty to (some/many/not all) sharks
26-03-26 17:01:30: Coyote: Though hell even a hammerhead would be interesting. Not that I have any idea where hammerheads are native. Or any shark species XD
26-03-26 17:02:02: Soma: Sharks are very pretty animals, imo!
26-03-26 17:02:21: Coyote: I was also thinking some kind of lava elemental, but right now that's purely based on aesthetics. Magma is pretty.
26-03-26 17:02:23: Soma: I don't recall hammerheads being a thing, mostly just great whites and similar varieties.
26-03-26 17:03:09: Soma: Huh, apparently they're prominent on the big island!
26-03-26 17:03:53: Soma: There are tiger sharks in Hawaii and those are extremely scary creatures.
26-03-26 17:04:38: Coyote: NGL tiger shark was kinda my first thought.
26-03-26 17:06:07: Coyote: :looks up hawaiian sharks. Ooh black tips. Got them detailing.
26-03-26 17:07:02: Coyote: Makos. Blues. Oooh Whale, talk about beautiful.
26-03-26 17:08:01: Soma: Whale sharks are gorgeous, and also enormous.
26-03-26 17:08:24: Soma: There is a contract that allows you to change into a Size 15 animal (the size of an elephant), so you could take that and be a whale shark!
26-03-26 17:11:14: Coyote: Found it!
26-03-26 17:11:24: Coyote: Linking something in disco.
26-03-26 20:45:32: Coyote: How do change priorities for Attributes/Skills?
26-03-26 21:30:11: Soma: When you set the points, it will auto adjust (so if you have 4 points into Social then add another point, it will swap to your primary)
26-03-26 21:30:41: Coyote: I was suspecting as much but got distracted with fish poems
26-03-27 00:37:23: Coyote: ASCII code apparently hates the apostrophe that you C&P'd for the courts, has replaced them all with '’'
26-03-27 00:39:03: Coyote: Also Ebb Tide is missing <.<
26-03-27 02:11:32: Soma: There we go! Got ebb tide up there. I also removed the utf-8 characters with a script
26-03-27 02:42:35: Coyote: Efficient!
