in no position to negotiate

So my sister is on vacation and has sent me a photo of the store she was buying clothes in.

tragodia, miss christine, mantra: have weird psychic powers that would reasonably be able to seriously damage your nervous system. it makes sense.

Overall the Sarkaz can't be a stand-in for any singular real world group because in-universe they're supposed to be the entire native population of the planet. all their tribes were just as different to each other as Lupos and Felines and Dracos and so on, they were only grouped together because of racism. Kazdel was the name of the whole planet and only became the name of a city because the colonizers took everything but that city from them.

kinda off-topic I guess but the "aliens invading a fantasy setting" comparison is also the the reason why - despite understanding why people would have a problem with it - I never quite agreed with the idea that having characters like the Sanguinarch going around exploding people like an unkillable horror monster ruins the metaphor by overly demonizing the Sarkaz because it just made sense to me, you know? Arknights is very gritty and metaphorical and down-to-earth but it's also a fantasy story at the same time and in fact a lot of the fun of its worldbuilding comes from how they apply real-world concepts to fantasy concepts (ex. I'm always thinking about that tidbit from Terra: a Journey about how the eastern dragon people and the western dragon people are actually entirely different races only grouped together because of a mitranslation during the first contact between their cultures) and so like, when you have the idea of the Fantasy World being invaded by aliens, of course then you'd follow it to its natural conclusion that those who are usually the villains and the monsters of these fantasy stories are also being invaded. Of course you have the super ancient evil vampires and undead legions and all those who seem like they belong in the Demon Lord's army among the Sarkaz (hell, their leader is straight up the Demon King). I think it's fascinating from a worldbuilding perspective how the game showed the ways this millennia-long oppression and colonization also affected these "superbosses"/"demon king's generals", it just kinda checks out that they'd also be there and have opinions about the whole thing, especially because if they're like this it's clearly because they were shaped by literal millennia of war and oppression they had to live through and not because that's simply how they were born or whatever.

Would you get rawed by an ancient forest spirit?
