Summary:

Two years after defeating Omnicron and his children, Nexolord Lucy Legacy is plagued by nightmares of the King's return. Deciding that any chance of revival is too much of a risk, she travels with Atlas and Deena to the Netherworld - the land of the dead - to destroy Omnicron's soul once and for all. Or does she?

(And the first two chapters of 'Stories of Legend,' the 'Stories of Light' equivalent for my N1 works, are also up!

Chapter 1 - 'Nara of the Forest' summary:

As much as an exhausted Deena wants the day to be over with, there's one more thing on her to-do list.

Chapter 2 - 'Firmer Foundations' summary:

How much can one conversation lead to?

Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.

My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang

Me: ksst!

My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!

Me: ok

not Saw specifically but a slasher with a legit body count. Summer camp slashers are overplayed but I think it really works because it's the type of thing the Scooby gang WOULD get caught up in.

like some of the counselors didn't show up (got got) so the head counselor calls his younger cousin to see if him and his friends can fill in last minute. They show up and they're a bunch of nerds, one of them even has an anxiety dog, and they don't have a big role at first. It seems like the movie is setting them up as cannon fodder.

Fuck the slasher movie just effectively becomes Home Alone but with Four Kevin McAllisters

dude.

So we all agree there's like no cisgender explanation for Venefelis right?

You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

as you cool down, your muscles stiffen, you lose the ability to swim much faster than usual (again, not even always in cold water!), and you drown.

to remain warm until rescue, it's important to stay still and get into the H.E.L.P. position to preserve body heat.

you can't do that treading water. You can only do that with a proper flotation device.

I once went into the water on a nice, sunny day at a popular boating lake surrounded by boaters. It took 45 minutes to be rescued. Could you swim for that long? Could you swim for that long while shivering and stiff?
