Let's Give Them A Show!

[FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: I'm starting to get used to it :/ [FC] <Crow Show>: ????? [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Are you guys gonna wait on Jusis or just blitz it without him? [FC] <R'mach Tia>: Ehh, we don't need him. [FC] <R'mach Tia>: You tank, I run Sage, and Jusis can enjoy doing the dungeon with Rufus or something. [FC] <R'mach Tia>: Doing stuff the four of us together is cool, but I figure he'd like doing more first-time-discoveries with his brother?

[FC] <Ash Ki> oh come on. i get 'u look like noctis' jokes all the time [FC] <Raphael Moore> ...sound like him too. [FC] <Ash Ki> W H A T. i had a nerd today tell me i sounded like master of masters or whatever from KH in COURT. HYTH- [FC] <Rean Bean> i feel kinda bad going without jusis. but crow and i did do the eden raids with out you two lol i think he does love exploring side things with rufus. [FC] <Rean Bean> we'll all be going through that sorrow of werlyt side chain together [FC] <Ash Ki> ....... good luck with that.

[FC] <Crow Show>: how dare u not recognize me :( [FC] <Crow Show>: i am APPALLED [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Want me to send you a full list? lmao [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: You should recognize Den and Richie's names among the members list, at least [FC] <R'mach Tia>: Hello! I'm Machias, a friend of Rean and Crow's. Nice to meet you! [FC] <Red Reaper>: name's randy :) [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Anyway, context is that we promised the boys OC lore teasers once they finished 5.3, so now we're dumping our unsundered names on them. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: ....WAIT. GOD. I JUST REALIZED. [FC] <Crow Show>: ???? [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TAKEN THROUGH AKADAEMIA [FC] <R'mach Tia>: That...sounds like a place I DEFINITELY want to see. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Get your asses to Eulmore and go unlock it near the random shipwreck outside. It's a dungeon, so just a quick in and out compared to the rest of the side content laundry list.

[FC] <Ash Ki> oh it's nice to meet you machias! randy! ...and shut up, Crow. you hadn't said anything. How was i supposed to know u were here too???? [FC] <Ash Ki> ...? did ya'll go through the twinning? [FC] <Rean Bean> that was yesterday. but now i guess we're going through akademia...? [FC] <Ash Ki> Anyder. its like aname...anamen...... Anamemes Anyder. fun dungeon. lots of ancient lore :) if ur into that [FC] <Raphael Moore> we're gonna lore dump about our ancients more when they get to THAT part of endwalker [FC] <Ash Ki> before or after they all die from laughing???? [FC] <Raphael Moore> ...ari wont miss her godfather will she?

[FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: I decided to roll with Thanatos. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: But yeah, I'm trying to stick to barest snippets and stay within what you reasonably know of Amaurot and its society so far. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: And although there's nothing really wrong with having the same name as NPCs because it fucking happens in real life, I'd basically say that if you avoid the Olympian Gods, any other name from Greek Mythology is fair game. [FC] <Red Reaper>: i wouldn't say i have a lot of character lore, but i AM guilty of having thought of my unsundered name and picked enyalius, supposedly a son of ares [FC] <R'mach Tia>: Ugh, dammit, now you're making me want to go on a deep dive on Wikipedia...

[FC] <Raphael Moore> oooooooh. i like that. that fits you randy. rhea's azem is persephone, obviously lol. i would stay away from the Titans too. if you've done the eden raids, you know lol [FC] <Rean Bean> Oh! Right. Hm. That's hard cause there's so many Gods lol. like obviously u wanna go with.... wait. [FC] <Rean Bean> how do you explain Hythlodaeus?! that's not Greek! [FC] <Raphael Moore> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ <Ash Ki has logged on> [FC] <Rapahel Moore> we've all come up with our ancients. we just cant tell you the FULL lore yet and holy shit. this is good as time as any. whats your ancient's name, ASH. [FC] <Ash Ki> ??? Tom Ado. JK. It's Astraeus uwu. .......what did i just drop in on and who are you people? besides hadri and hyth. and rean...i think?

[FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Rhea is our designated Azem. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: You may have already inferred it but Emet and Azem are/were canonically close, and what kind of 'close' is up to you. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: You already know what Rhea's choice was lol [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Mermaid and I are shards of Azem's besties and we all luckily happened to find each other again :) [FC] <Red Reaper>: ooooh d'you got ancient names picked out too?

[FC] <Rean Bean> Ancient...names...? [FC] <Raphael Moore> mmhm! we sure do! Raphael's is Charon. ... He worked under Emet-Selch. We won't tell you what Emet-Selch's role was on the Convocation besides BEING A SORCER OF ELDDDDDD!!!!!! you'll learn that later :) [FC] <Raphael Moore> I'm still thinking of what Charon looks like lol but i just know he deff had a lantern. for. reasons??? [FC] <Rean Bean> ...OH. so we're doing greek themes. got it. got it.

[FC] <Red Reaper>: well ok yeah throw dark knight into THAT category instead [FC] <Red Reaper>: the 'everybody should do these' job group lmao [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Hyth's got the right idea I think [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Dark Knight for story. Scholar for story. Reaper and Summoner for LORE. R'mach Tia has logged in. [FC] <Red Reaper>: shoutout to bard for the gay mentors btw [FC] <R'mach Tia>: Hey everyone. [FC] <R'mach Tia>: ...What did I walk into?

[FC] <Crow Show>: yea but i dont wanna level that many jobs lmao [FC] <Crow Show>: i havent even maxed out my main after all this time u think im gonna do that again 20x??? [FC] <Red Reaper>: thats why hadri is suggesting tailored job recommendations im sure [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Crow's list should be: Dragoon, Viper, Gunbreaker, Dark Knight, and maybe Machinist. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Dragoon is already done. Dark Knight for story, the others for vibes. [FC] <Red Reaper>: for rean since he's already got samurai i vote dark knight for story, and monk for vibes

[FC] <Red Reaper>: lol buddy you're surrounded by active players who can run all the dungeons with you and will let you collapse in a heap all you want [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Tanks are bulky and harder to kill than your Samurai, and if you run with Rhea or Cheri they'll keep you topped up no problem. [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: Or you can run with Machias and grant him Sage practice. [FC] <Red Reaper>: you don't gotta main dark knight or anything, i sure don't, but the story is definitely worth it [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: We should start making a separate list and make it 'Recommended Jobs' but tailored to each of them according to vibes and story [FC] <Crow Show>: lmao oh no [FC] <Crow Show>: i mean im down to try more stuff for story but idk if i wanna commit to too many jobs

[FC] <Red Reaper>: hey rean [FC] <Red Reaper>: you know how we were talking about recommended side content yesterday? [FC] <Red Reaper>: you should pick up dark knight and do the quests [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: YES [FC] <Hadrien Traverseau>: ANOTHER DARK KNIGHT STAN [FC] <Red Reaper>: i recommend them to everyone who hasn't done them, but i think rean in particular would dig the story

"Oh. Same. I would hate it too. Because you would try to change it.... Or realize it's inevitable..."

"I'd try and change it, probably. Ignore all the good, just to avoid the bad."

"...I would just accept that its inevitable. Which is a bad way to go about it too, I suppose..."

Rhea snorted. "Yeah. It will be worth it. I'm sure if we could look into the future, it would be... You know it is."

"I'd hate having the ability to look into the future," Hadri chuckled. "I'd probably overuse it and constantly regret everything I see."

"Oh. Same. I would hate it too. Because you would try to change it.... Or realize it's inevitable..."

"Don't forget crying, screaming, and barfing. ...But I'm convinced it'll be worth it."

Rhea snorted. "Yeah. It will be worth it. I'm sure if we could look into the future, it would be... You know it is."

Rhea hummed. "I... Still like the idea of us living in one of the apartments of our building. I don't necessarily need a balcony but it's something I want? I feel like a house would be a lot for us..."
