Re: Page 190: K-CHUNK
Another interesting question would be: Is it replaying Fireblade's memories of events with Alex as a drop-in - meaning he'll experience everything that happened to her, or is Fireblade's subconscious just setting the stage and placing him inside it? In the latter case, events could (and most likely ...

Re: Writing Prompts
Really need to get back into the swing of things as well, but there's a lot of stuff pulling me into several different directions at once.

Re: 182
He could count himself lucky that she was already out of earshot. Else he would've found himself pinned to the wall by telekinesis, her looming over him, with a thunderous expression on her face and the spoken (yes, spoken) question "How did you know?!"kiwi wrote:I wonder what Fireblade would think?

Re: 182
In all fairness to Alex, I don't think he has accepted that psi stuff affects him too. It's literally magic. Hearing the thoughts of another being is a foreign concept to him. The Loroi on the other hand are the opposite. Beryl and especially Tempo will be very curious now. I'm not so sure about th...

Re: 182
I bet on Beryl and Tempo getting a bit suspicious at that point. And surely one of them, Tempo most likely, will ask Fireblade if she had a reconstruction procedure done on her right eye... I could see their reactions to be a bit varied. Beryl might be overjoyed at that prospect (though sort of jeal...

Re: Outsider 181: Foot-in-Mouth Disease
Seriously the loroi know that he can't read minds but treat him like a jerk for not reading their minds it like he is dating some of them with the expectation that he be aware. I wonder what face hard troops was like for the civilians when the bugs attacked. Tempo saw that he wasn't intentionally h...

Re: page 180: Nightsky
We had about two documented cases of attempted psi contact. First, with him being on the verge of consciousness in Tempest medbay, second, in a deeply relaxed state on the shuttle, during Beryl's little experiment. And both times it involved Fireblade. Now that could easily be the third time. Alex h...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Similar English terms are "tall tale," "shaggy dog story" and "fish story." The latter two are also somewhat antiquated, but I think even millenials will recognize "tall tale." English as a secod language here. "Tall tale" is what I heard/read most often, "Shaggy dog story" I've never seen so far a...

Re: page 180: Nightsky
Oddly specific... Yes. Though I m wondering if Fireblade is alone at this image as in most memories I have from myself arent viewed from outside from my body. With loroi telepathy, when you are close to someone, you propably could build memories from connected senses. Actually, many times even pers...

Re: page 180: Nightsky
I think the others know Alex is “hearing” Fireblade, and they are curious..... Doesn't need to be. It could simply be that they all know of Fireblade's past - after all, her specific kind of PTSD makes everyone else know as soon as they bunk together - and the sidelong glances of Talon and Spiral a...

Re: 179: No finer place for sure, downtown
Tempo may have added a lot of context to the description (like explaining the lay of the land and geographical features), but it is still surprising that Fireblade did share some personal memories with the pink alien she visibly doesn't think too highly about. I guess it would be something like "the...

Re: 176: Low Tide!
Something I didn't see mentioned here.... I'm pretty sure the Loroi wouldn't have been grossed out that much if Alex had been an alien alien to them. As in, if he had been too dissimilar, they'd have simply put it off with an "oh, it's an insectoid/cephalopod thing to do", and move on. That they had...

Re: page 178: Beryl's time of her life
Alex is almost a foot taller than a typical Loroi male. The average height for a human female is just a touch over 5 feet; while a six foot human woman is unusual, she is hardly a grotesque freak. Some of the most successful supermodels were 6' (looking at you, Elle MacPherson). It might be sociall...

Re: page 178: Beryl's time of her life
For some reason, being raised in a lush world filled with deadly, yet deceptively beautiful lifeforms fits Tempo to a T. ...and, it makes one wonder, when she talks about 'highly evolved, beautiful and deadly organisms', if she includes Perrein Loroi and by extension herself in the list. Yep, Fireb...

Re: page 178: Beryl's time of her life
Thus Alex IS making a pass at her ~ flirting, its clear in his expression! I don't think so. He may like to poke fun at people who he thinks see themselves as somehow "better" than others. And a dour Teidar, separating herself from the others by custom and personal preference would fit the bill. Jo...

Re: page 178: Beryl's time of her life
also: my first title for this thread was "How about you, Red", but then I find the information that Beryl's enjoying this life more than her childhood very interesting. Poor girl. "Poor girl", indeed. Stressing 'this very moment', coupled with her ear-to-ear grin lets me think that she's enjoying t...

Re: 177: What do you miss?
Warmth and humidity. Something like a rainforest maybe? That begs the question of how people dress on Perrin. I think its more a comment on the ship getting cold, remember the life support has been turned down to bare minimum to avoid detection. https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/loroi_sister_world...

Re: 174-175: Got milk?
It's not surprising that Loroi have a word for 'milk', they are a mammalian(-based) species after all, following the generic pattern of humans... it's just that the idea of adults consuming what is meant for the young - not even talking about of different species - is totally alien to them, pun inte...

Re: 174-175: Got milk?
As I already said in Discord Eyebrows lowered, slight vertical furrow over her nose, downturned corners of her mouth... Yup, I'd say Beryl's slightly ticked off. (in the last panel) She was rather quick shifting from shocked that humans seem to have some rather wierd kinks (by Loroi standards) to 's...

Isn't the whole foursome an Outsider one way or another? Alex is the alien, Fireblade is scared by war, Tempo is a loner by her uncommon age and profession. I'm sure Beryl has something weird about her too. She probably likes feet or something The chipper xenophile Come to think of it, that might b...
