Carol's Treehouse

Hey, I'm Carol Tea, at your service! I'm a Wildcat from the outskirts of Shang Tu, Avalice, who lives in a treehouse with my two best friends, Sash Lilac and Milla Basset! Feel free to come talk to me anytime--I promise you won't regret it! ...Probably ((Indie Freedom Planet RP Blog.))

[wildcatofgreen-blog]

Yo Carol. What is your 'relationship' with your sister?

She jumped at the mention of a sister, her face full of shock. And then, almost immediately, she regained her composure, sinking back into her rather smug self.

“Sister? What do ya mean by that?” She feigned confusion, although to the untrained eye, they wouldn’t know the difference, “I don’t have a sister. Unless ya mean Lilac.

“In which case--she’s like the best friend I never had! Seriously the awesomest girl you could meet.” ...After a moment of forcing a smile, she sighed, flopping herself on her bed. Her sister... Oh did she wish she didn’t have to be reminded of her.

[wildcatofgreen-blog]

Say Carol, do you enjoy spars? Especially using your motorbike?

“You talkin’ about fightin’, right? ‘Cause if you are...

“Then HELL YEAH!” She hops excitedly on the floor as she hugs herself in glee, “Dude, sparring is so much fun! So much action, so much excitement! I mean, have you even seen me and Lilac fight? It’s like two badgers fighting over a piece of cheese, except a billion times better!”

She manages to calm herself a bit, settling into a smug aura, “And fightin’ with my bike?” She whistles, putting a hand on her hip, “Dude, if you fought me with my bike, I dunno if you could last more than three seconds! Especially with it’s recent upgrades! Have you seen it? I’ve gotta show ya sometime--it’s sooo rad!”

[wildcatofgreen-blog]

(oh hey you're back)

“Ugh, barely.” She plopped herself on the bed behind her, holding her head with her right, “Do you even know how many reps I’ve done since I was last here?” She didn’t wait for an answer--there wouldn’t be one, anyway, “Waaaay too many. Sheesh...

“I really wish Neera and Askal would reduce their training regiments. I haven’t had an eleven hour nap in months!”

Brief Aside

So a heads up: This blog will probably be pretty bare during October. I’ll probably try to keep up with FP2 updates as they are brought to attention and I’ll try to queue up some fanart for the month, but the person who usually updates this blog will not be actively presecent much for that month.

Also, I’ve gotten kinda behind on the FP status updates so a quick summary of new/interesting things:

* New NPCs have been revealed for FP2. We’ll be seeing distinct guards for the different nations, as well as very pretty inhabitants for the different areas. Check the GalaxyTrail twitter for that.

* Voice Recording was done involving the VA for AAA, the VA for Cory, and the VA for Kalaw! This was mentioned over on Lilac’s VA’s twitter. Exciting! Can’t help but think that this is banter for FP2’s  Battlesphere!

* Brought up by Goshaag and Chromatrope is that FP2 will apparently have cutscenes with hand-drawn animation by DanSyron, like the one used as FP2’s trailer. This likely also implies that the game’s trailer will be included with the game itself and the relevant parts will play at the appropriate times. However, in-game conscenes will also be occuring, as we’ve already seen screencaps of the game’s cutscene dialog editor tools.

* Roman has been working on a fan made German translation of the game and progress is going well, but it’ll be some time before it’s ready for public release.

* Fladervy has achieved Sub 3m clear time for Lilac in Jade Creek. 2m 55s is the current estimated optimal human clear time.

* SuccinctAndPunchy’s Indiebox Speedrun Contest trophy has still not arrived, and Indiebox has made no public statements as to what happened to the trophy or what places have been approached to make it. He’s been reporting that he has had no response from them at all lately. That’s worrying.

((Y’know I’ve somehow neglected to mention this until now, but

https://art.risingslash.net/

This is now a thing! This is a Freedom Planet image booru akin to the likes of danbooru and gelbooru, created solely so it’s easier to get access to EVERYTHING Freedom Planet! Well, everything art related to Freedom Planet, anyway.

Feel free to make an account and post TONS of images! There’s already like, 800-900 images on there already, but the more the merrier! It’d be rad if we could get all of the Freedom Planet on this booru. Yes, even the ones I’m not so fond of. But, it’s a booru--it’s gotta have EVERYTHING.

So, go ahead and join! And post images galore! And please tag these images so nothing naughty or weird comes up for someone who has those tags blocked! There’s a “rules” button there, check that out for guidelines on posting.

And, have fun with it, too!))

Bitter as Ever...

He slowly let his frown change into a smile, He was always a step ahead of the game. She should know that, if she knew him so well. “ you mean like how i managed to trick your purple friend into coming right into my arms? how i managed to strap her onto a table… and torture her. The funny thing about back water runts. You always believe you are ahead of the game… but do i have news for you… “ He sneered down at her as his soldiers came out of the wood works to surround him. 

He casually moved his hand as he spoke “ When Lilac defeated me i knew the Commander would never stop unless he believed i was dead. So i Enacted my contingency plan, and launched a series of shuttles from my ship, and detonated them, using the explosion as cover to situate the battle cruiser in orbit over this retched world. For a time i was convinced i had lost everything… for a time i was almost depressed…” He chuckled in a dark tone as he lowered both his arms. “ you even nearly killed poor Serpentine… a man who mind you, was one of the former commander’s best double agents. But as you know, altering the mind is such an easy thing. Do you sleep well at night knowing you nearly killed one of the good guys? OH i suppose the Commander neglected to tell you that didn’t he? Pity “ He shook his head from side to side.

He took a step toward her as he told her just how much she didn’t know, as Brevon always did. He was giving her a lecture on the way of the world. “ and Now with Robotnik’s help i am going to finally get off this retched rock… and before i go, once i have full power to my main canons… i think i’ll turn that little forest home of yours into a wasteland! but go on… laugh with me… about how defeated i am… hmhm…hahah HAHAH! ahhh… its the little moments in life that make me realize how much i enjoy this job “ He sneered at Carol truly as devilish as he ever was. 

[wildcatofgreen-blog]

Her smile started to subside in favor of a frown as he spoke. Her arms dropped to her side as she looked up at him. At the mentioned of the “truth” of Serpentine, she couldn’t help but cringe. Thoughts filled her head, thoughts of right and wrong, and morals. Did they really do the right thing? Were they really good? Did they really–stop.

She put a hand on her hip once more, looking unamused, “A bad guy’s a bad guy, no matter their past. Just ‘cause he was one of us, doesn’t mean he’s good. He supported you, for heaven’s sake! Nobody who supports slime like yourself deserves to be ali–” She stops herself. She… she was actually going to say something like that. And she knows she meant it. The feline who hates murder, death, killing of any sort, now saying that anybody who supports Brevon should die.

Ignoring her thoughts, she blows air through her nose as she continues to speak, “Yeah, sure you will. You do know that me ‘n Lilac are just gonna stop ya before ya even get the chance, right?” Her eyebrows furrow as her paws turn to fists, “ ‘Robotnik’ or not, y’all ain’t gonna accomplish shit with us around. And I know you know this.” Less cockiness, more confidence. She wasn’t taking anything from this monster–she knew better not to.

…But even then, his words made her fearful. She desperately tried not to let all of this information hit her, but her facade wouldn’t last for long. And the fact that Serpentine was brainwashed by him… It makes her skin crawl with uneasiness. What could stop him from doing it to somebody else? Like Lilac? Or… herself. She gulped. The name Robotnik didn’t sit right with her, either… It sounded just as menacing as Brevon’s. And the fact that he’s a possible adversary…

“Who’s this ‘Robotnik’ guy, anyway? Some kid you found at a candy store?” Although her comment sounded snide, her face showed no change–still as serious as ever.

[theeurisheggboss-deactivated201]

He couldn’t really contain his laughter, she was just as cocky as ever, on the outside. But her eyes betrayed so much more, she was fearful and that he could use to his advantage. “ How pray tell do you intend to stop me? with out the Commanders technology you cant even reach my Ship this time… even if you wanted to. This isn’t a matter of determination or desire… you can’t use sheer will power to reach it not this time. No my dear Carol… This time you are powerless to stop me… in fact i give you this warning. If you do anything against my soldiers or myself i won’t just burn your forest to the ground… i will turn this planet into a barren wasteland so make your bed and sleep in it child. Either live with the fact you will lose your home, or continue your meaningless battle and insure your planet’s destruction “ He earned her with  stern tone. 

He was going to leave when her question on who Robotnik was caused him pause. He looked back at her and couldn’t help but smile with half his face covered in shadows. He had the most eerie look on his face “ oh now Carol, i can’t tell you all my plans, that would make me some kind of cartoon villain wouldn’t it? This is your last chance Carol Tea… stay out of my affairs, or the next person strapped to my table will but you! and unlike your dragon friend… if i cut off your tail it won’t grow back…” He warned her with a deadly threat. “ If she leaves let her go… if she insists on fighting you… well at least die with dignity “ he told the soldiers around him. 

[wildcatofgreen-blog]

He... He was joking, right? There was no way he could do that...

She looked to her side as he spoke, clearly conflicted. If she tried to stop him, then she could risk her whole planet’s safety. Especially if she failed. Because of her possible idiocy, she could ruin everything for everyone...

Then again, if she didn’t do anything, the same would happen. With more-or-less the same consequences. ...Really, she’s not losing anything by trying. Except her life... And her tail, possibly. But still! W-Who needs tails anyway? They’re overrated.

She cautiously looked around at the minions before her. She knew she couldn’t take ‘em all out--that’d be potential suicide. Even with the new techniques she’s learned, and her new found strength, she knows these guys would still be a pain. And that’s a pain she’s not willing to deal with right now.

But... before deciding to walk away, she couldn’t help but yell at him, “I-... I’m gonna stop you. I don’t care what it takes, I am gonna stop ya. No matter how hard it’ll be on me, no matter if I even die in the process, I will stop you. I bet I could even get to your shitty ship with my hands tied behind my back!” She was growling at this point, her was breath heavy as well.

She--... She wasn’t bullshitting, right? She does have something to get on his ship to stop him... right? Yeah. She just has to find it first.

“ Come to Gloat? come to brag? i suppose you believe you won some great victory. In reality you’ve only doomed your sorry little world to annihilation…if you could only learn to leave it well enough alone… but alas i have no time for your interference this time kitten… i have bigger fish to fry “ 

[wildcatofgreen-blog]

She snickers at the monstrous alien standing before her with a hand on her hip. Carol Tea, everybody–laughing in the face of danger. “Brev, buddy,” condescending, too, “Do ya really think you could come back from what we put you through? Do you even remember what happened back at the Dreadnought?”

She looks smug, like she’s not even terrified anymore. This is Brevon, the one who almost destroyed her world and and killed herself, Lilac and Milla. Not to mention the rest of the populace, and the thousands of people he did kill. And yet, she’s acting as if he’s not even a threat anymore, “We could’ve killed ya, dude. In fact, I’m sure Lilac almost did, last I remember.

“And shit–the hell do ya even have now? An airship? That puny little sword of your’s?” She starts to mock the Lord, making her face out to be “grouchy”, “Oooo~! Look at me, I’m ‘Lord Brevon’! The most fearful warlord in the entire galaxy, taken down by two kids.” She chuckles once more, “What a disgrace!”

Would you rather light yourself on fire while skydiving out of a plane as sharks chase you down through the air and survive by landing on water or die?

“...Heh?

“Uhm, okay then. You’ve mentioned ‘survive’ there, so I’m ‘prolly gonna take that one. I’d rather not die at any time, y’know?
