Comet and Fox's Pharloom Travels
ACT 1 SILKSONG SPOILERS (mostly fox but there is some of Comet/Moon in there too, im just bad at keeping track of both streams, apologies to everyone!)

--------
accidentally stumbled into Deep Docks, where i will then proceed to be lost for the next couple of hours while doing other things
"where is she. where is shakra" (RIGHT BELOW ME). had enough for a quill, mosslands and deep docks map, and a few pins
proceeded to be more lost AGAIN while figuring out where to go. stumbled across Lace behind a locked door, audibly said "I know that voice" and proceeded to avoid that. Also lost against an arena, average day, and proceeded to hold off on that arena until i explored a bit more. also got the deep docks bellway unlocked, where i immediately called Moon's attention towards my screen and physically nearly became overjoyed bc bell beast eepy. the doggie eepy. give that dog a BLANKET
became baffled beyond belief upon the approach to the next skill i need, as Moon already had it and i was. still figuring out HOW, as simply walking deals damage. turns out it is a breakneck hop to the next bench, aka ouch oof ow hot hot hot ow ow ow
DID make it to a bench though
came back and proceeded to get smacked in the face by ONE (1) skarr. honestly fair
SPRINT GOTTEN
Lace took 2 tries and im 75% sure its from watching Moon do it and also the moment of "WAIT THATS FENCING MOVES"
i cant get to the MAP
map got, apparently its still 50 rosaries. proceeded to fail the same jump repeatedly while trying to get to Drifter's Cloak. the double damage beastflies are easily thwarted by a couple of pogos!
(2 attempts on lace) (50 million tries on fourth) this seems abt right
also im semi-consistently broke but dont worry about that trust
will provide updates when im back at fourth chorus -- DAY 3 --
FORUTH CHORUS DOWN AFTER 12 ATTEMPTS. clawed my way up to greymoor, slightly behind Moon, but i DID make it to halfway home, at least
so last night i clocked Lace as a fencer and uh. i was right apparently (<- hunters journal got).
as it turns out, pc doesn't like it when i run two games at the same time so its break time from moorwing and also silksong in general and its wow time* * conquest campaign ---- DAY 4 ----
ok before i do anything in-game im going to set a goal for myself. wall climb + beast crest and THEN slab
proceeding to not do that actually. made a beeline STRAIGHT towards as many fleas as i could, and once i DID i IMMEDIATELY SKIPPED THE MOORWING FIGHT VIA CARAVAN you will not make me fight that bird
found the way to Shellwood via (checks notes) Bellhart (ft. me going "hUh" --- DAY 5-6 FORGOT ---
Sister Splinter then proceeded to WRECK me despite having watched Moon do the same boss fight. that fight took 10 more tries than moon went through
also shoutout to shakra "her talent at getting lost" bit bc thats literally so me fr
wall climb took 40 million tries before looking up a guide ("follow the flowers :)" vs me, who wins) but I GOT IT. banked over to where beast crest's path is SUPPOSED to be at
hey so guess whos warping fox's lore like i did with wolf's (kinda.)
"DOUBLE DAMAGE????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME"
the IMMEDIATE REACTION from me upon capture (and fox's): WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
WHERE IS MY CLOAK, MICHAEL." - average experience
the one parkour jump before the next bench was also where i learned that you can SPRINT UP WALLS, making me giggle like a real-time maniac because hornet really IS spider huh. the little scramble up the wall HELP ICONIC (does fox learn this? probably)
after a couple of attempts on the same parkour jump, i managed to get past it with ZERO problems which is HILARIOUS and also really on-brand for Fox "good at parkour" The Dreambound /silly
also had to turn up everything bc i like Red Maiden actually what a good music
cleared the arena first bloody try which is HILARIOUS and iconic. yknow what that means!!
then proceeded to be stressed out of my mind trying to get to a flea that im like 75% sure needs double jump for . what did the flea do to deserve being put in prison….. release them they did nothing wrong
"MY CAPTORS TOOK OFF MY COMPASS. HOW DAAAARE THEY" (in bellhart)
proceeded to nearly SLAM myself into Nuu's FACE while sprinting past the splinter arena
meanwhile Moon's over at Last Judge (<- BEAT last judge as of writing, and currently in Citadel) and im over here battling Widow, who took the SAME number of attempts that Moon did HUH
"I CAN SILKSONG"
"wait no come back!!" - me at the weavers in widow's memory i thiiink? if i got that right? anyways i sprinted at them i must have scared them im so sorry wails
descended into the Weavenest (alongside filling out part of the hunter's journal), where upon i get 50% more baffled on where a mask fragment is, get jumpscared by a BIG boy, and also cry at a silk fragment that i really want but im also like 75% sure ALSO needs double jump i am going to WAIL. met Eva, who i (and fox too ig) was initially very wary of due to the humming and a Very empty room. eva DID give me an upgrade to Hunter's Crest, which is GREAT ty new friend presumably.
note that while i remember overarching lore of silksong i DO NOT remember some specifics, which is partially to blame for my initial wariness of eva specifically. i remember the name, what they (she? forgot sorry) do gameplay-wise, and some lines, but that was IT.
bonus sketch for the bit too
also got the needle's damage upgraded upon recommendation by Moon. got to see a neat cutscene out of it hehehe
ran around and did a couple of tasks (<- trying to get to a Specific Ending) before having to switch gears to warcraft conquest, which was. Something to Witness. i guess my music choices in Red Maiden actually saved a lot of my rolls bc i was rolling DAMAGE for a lot of the time :)
