do y'all have a fav song from the old ones?

you BETTER appreciate this because i am about to run around the base passing the focus along to everyone !!!

Aloy - Oh. Um. I don’t exactly listen to their music a lot, I generally prefer what we have today. Although, GAIA gave me this playlist once called “Phonk”, and I guess it was ok, so I guess that? Sorry, that’s not really a song..

Erend - HEAVY METAL BANDS, I THINK METALLICA OR SLIPKNOT IS MY FAVOURITE. I ENJOY MASTER OF PUPPETS A LOT, THOUGH. ITS EIGHT MINUTES LONG, SO I GET TO ENJOY IT FOR AGES.

(ooc: i know nothing about heavy metal bands all i have is a friend with a metallica bag whom we call emo all the time)

Varl - i actually quite enjoy the pop genre! i think there was a heavy split between the old ones between people who did and didn’t, but i think they sound cool and upbeat. my favourite has to be this one song called shake it off by this girl called taylor swift!!! i don’t know if she’s still relevant with you guys but i enjoy a lot of her music :) also i listen to classical sometimes from zo!!!

Zo - Generally I listen to calmer music, classical like Varl said. I enjoy Beethoven, but I also switch over to more 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2020s music sometimes because of Varl. I like Adele - my favourite from her has to be Chasing Pavements, or Easy On Me :) Alva got me into The Lumineers too.

Kotallo - i don’t have a lot of time to listen to music. all i know is mr. sandman. bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam oh mr sandman. that one. i think it’s old so i don’t know if you all still know it.

Alva - MY TURN!!!!! i enjoy this one band called the lumineers a LOT. my favourite is ophelia because it reminds me of federa and sometimes it makes me cry. also!! taylor swift!! she was 2000s to 2020s i think so like varl said i’m not sure if you all know her.. but i heard her fans called themselves “swifties” so that’s pretty cool!! me and varl listen to music together a lot we share similar tastes :3 i like the pop genre too!!

Beta - i really enjoy the crane wives i really like the moon will sing or the well also there was this song called lovely and i think billie something was her name and all i can do is see myself in the lyrics so it makes me cry but it also makes me feel really comforted also alva showed me this song called rises the moon and it makes me really calm

Sylens - Classical.

GAIA - My likes are what Elisabet liked. Sometimes, when she was feeling a bit happier, she’d listen to 70s, 80s, 90s, but when she needed to focus or needed something calmer in a solemn mood, she’d put on some classical or generally calm music. I believe her favourite was “Keep On Movin’” by a band called Five. Although, I do enjoy the songs everyone plays around the base, too.

sorry guys sylens was grumpy… it took me like 5 minutes of pestering him to get him to write ONE word!!!!

now i am going to look at some data. sitting down. i’ve been running around the base i need a break.

I'm.....the difference....

hey gang! if u were living during the old ones time, what kind of job do u think u would have? or what you would want to do?

huh. you guys LOVE making me run around the base… ok, round two!!!

Aloy - I’m not sure what specifically, but I think I’d look into cures for this disease they used to have called cancer, which was REALLY bad. Assuming the world wouldn’t be imminently ending, I try and fix the world. Just a little bit. Sorry, I didn’t know how else to phrase it.

Erend - OK, I HAVE TWO ROUTES. I’D EITHER START MY OWN BAR AND BE A BARTENDER, AND EVERYONE IN TOWN WOULD KNOW WHO I WAS. IF SOMEONE ASKED “HEY, WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR OUR NIGHT OUT?” THEY’D SAY “LETS GO TO THE FORGE™️” AND NO ONE WOULD DISAGREE. OR I’D GET TOGETHER WITH SOME BUDDIES AND START A BAND. WE’D BE FAMOUS. LIKE REALLY FAMOUS.

Varl - see they used to have this game called football and it’s basically where you kick a ball around and try and get it into the goal. it looks really fun and i don’t know if it would be a proper job but i think i’d like to do that!!

Zo - I would like to be someone who works with plants.. I think they called it a botanist. Sorry it’s not a lengthy answer - that’s all there is to say, really :)

Kotallo - i want to be able to stab my enemies. i think i’ll become a serial killer.

Alva - um. well. i promise he’s fine guys. ANYWAY!! i would love to be a historian.. it’s basically the same as being a diviner but everything is more accurate LOL. or maybe i’ll dig up the dinosaur bones..

Sylens - he’s NOT dealing with my chicanery guys. this is the second time i’ve pestered him like this he might snap soon. although i can picture him as the local neighbour that people generally don’t like. he’s probably like.. some professor at a university who’s REALLY done with this one specific kid.

Beta - i think i’d want to work at a library where i get to read all day and it would be really quiet and then everyone else would come and visit and we’d have tea together and it’d be really nice and cozy

GAIA - I’m not sure. All I’ve ever been is an AI; I’m not sure I can comprehend having a different job. My apologies.

welcome to the gaia gang !!

we are the gaia gang !! you might have heard of us from, well.. a lot of different ways! like maybe the tenakth rebels, or the oseram in the pub, or maybe you just heard erend’s loud music. (zo heard it too. she still isn’t happy that aloy won’t do anything.)

you can ask us questions!! we will answer!! plain and simple!! although we ARE humans too.. so no icky stuff! i think they called it nsfw. and no threats or anything! friendly reminder that we have a tenakth marshal, “the saviour”, an utaru, a nora, AND an oseram!! i don’t think you wanna mess with us..

(and sylens, i guess.. i wouldn’t say i can do much, and beta.. well. beta is beta. but beta is still cool!!!)

general rules!!

no nsfw questions !!

do not spam the inbox. we are trying to save the world over here!!!

please try to refrain from asking about crushes or anything. but anything that’s real is fine!! (e.e zo and varl, alva and federa)

we hold the right to ignore/delete certain questions if we find them uncomfortable or generally icky.

(ooc: please do not ask anything about deceased people, mainly varl and lance reddick/sylens. everyone is alive for the sake of the blog, and we don’t know what will happen to sylens’ character in the next game, therefore it is safer not to assume anything.)

tags!!

i, alva, am mainly the one who looks after and monitors this blog, however that doesn’t mean i will pass the phone for anyone else to answer your questions!! so do not hesitate to ask anyone else from the gang questions as well :)

if the post is tagged with any of these tags, it means that person answered!!

saviourly duties - aloy

cool man varl - varl (really? i would’ve NEVER guessed..)

forge man - erend

plant and people mom - zo (she wanted JUST plant mom, but then she’d end up on the wrong side of tumblr)

marshalmellow - kotallo (he really wants to try marshmallows guys..)

disaster diviner - alva (me!!)

beta says stuff - beta (she didn’t have any good ideas guys..)

this is a waste of time - sylens (sometimes we can convince him to answer!!)

gaia goddess - gaia herself!!!

(ooc tag is we’re on a break (but not really) when there are questions for me directly!!)

seeee you later!!! :D

(Just so you all know, this was ENTIRELY Alva’s idea. We just kinda got dragged into it. - Aloy)
