Ash nodded. "That's how it's been since the start, for me. It was kind of what I envisioned when I picked Spirit Magic, anyway" He gestured vaguely at himself. "When I made my character, I was basing it off an old character of mine. 'Ash Vargold' as a concept is older than Terrasphere, and that...

fa-solid fa-quotesThis Blog is Not a Metaphor I just think gamers don't know what's going on Comments Welcome to the new blog, same as the old blog, mostly. You may be wondering what happened, and the answer to that is "someone spammed the comments until it triggered the algorithm". Surprise...

fa-duotone fa-user-penVargold Posted: 9:20:29 DalDal (@Moonsong): Shit, I'm sorry. I only met him once, but he seemed like a good person. And losing anyone to Terrasphere is a tragedy in the end. I hope you can find him in-game soon. K1R105 (@Kirios): The Vintergardian Magia appear to multiply...

Accelerator seemed... normal. But as he brought up the name on a card in his inventory, Ash had to fight to keep his face neutral. "Friend of yours...?" Something to note for later. "We decided to investigate the duplicated emergency signal. With the help of an Astramancer, we were able to scry...

I love rambling about my character's feelings unprompted. Would love to have the Red Fever and Hope in Danger pages for @Ash Vargold and @Bluebird

"Weird." And it was weird. He wasn't sure how else to feel about it, not without going off on another rambling speech about... what? The qualia of a soul's color? "Maybe it's based on a person's perception of self, then? I mean, this game's plugged pretty deep into our brains, if you really...

Ash paused, leaning back as Kyra said her peace. So that's how this sort of thing worked for her, huh? "...I can't say I ever put much stock into mood rings. And the way I see it, having the game plugged into my brain doesn't it make it any different." He stared at the ceiling, lost in thought...

It was always a little odd, seeing Kyra's more cheerful mask slip. Not that he could be surprised, when the subject of death came up. He stared at nothing in particular as he spoke up, voice oddly flat. "I can't say I'm surprised. People aren't really built to look their death in the eye...

Ash frowned as Kyra spoke. It sounded like a standard encounter, albeit a spooky one. It was its word choice that was strange. Few entities were aware of the idea of a "player", and none of them could really comprehend what that really meant. He leaned forward, folding his hands as he thought...

Ash frowned. Starting off the conversation with such a dark topic was... probably not great behavior for a guest. But it was better to get it over with now, right? Especially considering the consequences that followed. "We did win, yeah. Just..." Ash lowered his cup, staring down at the liquid...

"Oh, geez, you didn't have to get the fancy plate out for me-" But the food was there now, and... well, it did look and smell good. Better than his usual diet, even if it wouldn't be as effective at dulling his hunger. Well, nothing wrong with taking a break from 'efficient' meals. "...but...

Ash heard the sudden scramble of Kyra approaching, giving him a moment to brace himself before Kyra came bursting out of the door. He still jumped, though - he hadn't expected her to open it with that much force. "Sh-um. Hi Kyra. You're energetic." He took a moment to compose himself, returning...

It was still strange, thinking of Terrasphere as a job. Maybe if it had a proper job description it would feel more normal, but it felt more like a teenager's dream of the video game industry. Paid to play videogames. Hah... Ash was having trouble finding things to do, though. He'd already...

The Call of the Void Players: @Ash Vargold | @Nymoria Prompt: A man with frizzled hair and mismatching clothes sits alone by a massive rock, where he keeps staring sullenly down the side of the canyon and into the dark depths below. He begs anyone he sees to please help him, and take him down...

The smell of fresh air was a relief, but not as much a relief as watching as his UI stabilized. With it came the return of the pain limiter, numbing the throbbing pain of battle into tingling numbness and system-enforced stiffness. For the first time, that almost annoyed him. Ash shook his...

215 Auto-assist Disabled. Ash makes all Action rolls at disadvantage and cannot use Special Actions. Pain Limiter Disabled. Ash is Vulnerable to all attacks. -40 HP from Retal At least someone's having fun... Ash backed off, still biting back the urge to whimper with pain. His coat had born...

"Huh." That was a pleasant surprise, in a way. Ash hadn't been in the Brisshal area recently, not with everything happening in Astorea lately. "...good to know it's doing something. Feels like shouting into the void, sometimes." Aisling nodded slightly. She could guess what Brian was implying...

Ash, to his credit, managed to not choke when Hanno surprised him. He did, however, stare a little too long at him before he seemed to comprehend who he was looking at. "Oh, Hanno. Hi." He looked down at his plate as if seeing it for the first time, then shook his head. "Just barely. I haven't...
