Figured I could make a Cyberpunk blog after debating for months now. blog names are hard, okay! 😂
I'm an artist and also trying to get back into fic writing. Tag for art is "void attempts art" / tag for writing is "tales from the void"
As you can probably tell from my user and icon/header, I love Maelstrom. Whether it be shit talking them, judging their decisions, excitedly rambling about them, or worldbuilding, you're likely to get it all from me. I just think they're neat. I blame the body horror ajkdslajkls
Jokes aside, I like them as villains. They're fucking terrifying - but some of them are also complete dumbasses who need slapped and I enjoy the range. 😂
It's so addicting but I'm too much of a chicken to play it alone, so have only been doing so when Gham, Bone, and/or Stone are around to play it with me ajkla;sjdkas
was playing it with Gham tonight and my hands are STILL shaking omg
uhhhhhh details under the cut ajskdlas;l
we're slowly getting better at pinning down the ghost types and surviving hunts
we were in one of the cabins at one point tonight, and Gham found a Ouija board in one of the rooms. we agreed not to mess with it until we nailed down what our ghost was
so we're doing that, everything's going fine, we figure out it's an obake
so I leave the cabin and I'm checking over the cameras from the van just to double-check that we had ghost orbs, and Gham suggests trying out the Ouija board
so she goes into the entryway of the cabin, kind of in the middle of it so I can see from the door, tells me to stay outside to see if I can see the ghost if/when it spawns
I can hear her reading off whatever the ghost spelled on the board, but couldn't quite make out what it was since I was outside (that board. terrified. me. I Was Not gonna be in the house when it got used)
then I hear her suddenly go "...polo? oh marco!" short pause filled with giggles "marco!" the door slams in my face and it starts hunting her
I book it to the truck to watch the emf board thingy, and shout out through the radio when the hunt's over. I run back to open the door, see Gham leave her hiding place and start running toward me-
then the door slams in my face again
(my poor character probably has a broken nose by this point, I was literally standing One The Threshold both times getting ready to run into the house)
I watch the board from the truck again, Gham somehow survives the second hunt, and books it out of the house the second I give the all-clear
I took a look through the doorway before we left, and the board was shattered, the pieces scattered all over the entryway, we decide to nope it out of there and leave (and we got our first ghost type right!)
later on, sitting in the lobby after an investigation, she casually goes "oh yeah, the Ouija board started spelling "polo" at me! so I said "marco" and it spelled "polo" again. so I said "marco" again and it started hunting"
me: "....the ghost TROLLED YOU????"
the next house, we found a monkey paw, which can grant wishes
we figure out the ghost is a myling (I nearly jumped out of my skin for the emf5 btw. I was crouched next to the piano looking at the ghost writing when it smacked the keyboard to make a bunch of horrible notes. tbh I'm surprised I even had the idea to swap to the emf reader it scared me so bad)
so naturally, Gham goes "...wanna try out the monkey paw?"
so she stands right inside the doorway while I'm outside of it watching her
her wish: "I wish to see the ghost"
instantly, the door shuts in my face (.....again), the hunt is on, and Gham revealed to me later that she was frozen in fear so just stood in front of the door. just seconds after the hunt started, I could hear her dying on the other side of the door
door opens, I grab the paw
my wish: "I wish for life"
insta-death
BUT Gham is revived, books it back to the truck, yells at me over radio to choose myling, and leaves (I didn't know I could die when I rezzed Gham, but she'd bought everything for that round beside like the flashlights and some of the cameras, so Worth It to save the stuff)
last but not least
we go to an easier house to finish up the night. we'd had three in a row right, so we just wanted to get Gham to level up again to finally be able to get our hands on the salt
everything's going fine, I'm bringing in my setup stuff to the kitchen where we discovered it was, and as I'm walking in I hear it writing in the book. perfect! ghost writing down, that narrows down our list
I set up DOTs and a camera, leave and come back with Another DOTs and camera to put on the other side of the kitchen, then eventually return with UV and a spirit box
not having luck with UV, because it's touching everything BUT the doors
anyway Gham goes out to get more supplies, I turn off the lights, turn on the spirit box, start circling the kitchen, asking questions-
spirit box answer
I yelp and yeet the spirit box on the floor while it's still on
me, over radio, Very Strained: "we got spirit box"
Gham, snickering: "noted"
me: "that thing is HORRIBLE"
Gham: "yeaaahhhh"
we're pretty sure it's a spirit by that point, pairing the evidence with the van's emf screen (which I'm. learning not to fully trust now)
unfortunately, I DC
so I tune in to Gham's stream on discord, and she decides to start playing with the tarot cards
starts pulling cards and then immediately backs out of the door
gets a few that either don't do anything, or trigger small events-
and then the hunt starts and she doesn't back out in time
runs to the nearest closet and hides there as it hunts
and hunts
and hunts
over and over, footsteps go up and down through the house, throwing things all the while
by that point she's probably at like 0 sanity because of the cards and constant hunting/being in a dark closet
she runs out at one point, opens the door, it immediately locks again and she books it back to the closet
at one point, I'm listening to the ghost and kinda go, more to myself "...that sounds like a poltie [poltergeist]" because I noticed how many things were being yeeted while it hunted. her camera nods super rapidly in agreement
eventually, she runs out again and just barely makes it out, the door slamming shut behind her to the point she literally phased through it partially. she'd managed to reach it in like the five second window it had between hunts after looking at the van emf. we're pretty sure it was just one hunt after another by that point
unfortunately with the stress of what was happening, I think she totally forgot about my comment on it being a poltergeist, since she still had spirit selected and got it wrong
I wasn't even there bc I disconnected and my heart was thundering and hands shaking
Wagh. Im letting it ride but i broke both shadowhearts and karlachs hearts by going ahead with gales scene. I didnt even get any dialogue karlach was into me
but we've gotten closer with every attempt, hopefully we can get it once I'm back from vacation <3 (if they don't get it while I'm gone, which they very well might with how close we've been! :D)
also, Cag is great 😂
his timing and wit is so funny, he's always got something to say
I tank for this team, and usually I use Synnda since he's my only assassin with biochem, but he was locked out from last night's attempt so I speed-ran getting it on Liakige so I could use them tonight bc shield adrenals are Expensive okay :(
Me, holding dragon: *gets pulled by choke add into spit* Pull... uhhhhh, Liakige. Oops, forgot who I was on for a sec
Prom, sorc healer: I heard pull and started looking for Synnda. That's not Synnda. You're always on Synnda :(
Cag, DPS: ...all I heard was Licorice.
so I guess Liakige is "Licorice" to that team, now ajklsld;jasd
