I guess all that white lace whiteout bullshit really was tallbones's doing, huh. yes, yes I did. uhhhh, don't read into it. strictly platonic friendship here. #no necro, bro
right then. bit of a homebody, are we? #homecorpse? i don't know what i expected rude. .... pretty sure that's not a show you don't say. castor rolls a will save. castor blows their will save. ... whew
right, then. yyyyeah. I'm pretty sure this keeps going until the quantum physics books start getting meta. #if you know how fast you're reading, you lose your place #if you know where you are, you have no idea how long reading it is taking #actually thats pretty normal for quantum physics books or death. as the case may be. well that doesn't look at all ominous. well, i suppose you've gotta keep them somewhere. I hope you washed all my blood off, though. it was literally like twenty minutes ago yeah, that. this is true... oh boy! I never thought I'd see one of those CoC style SAN-loss tomes in the flesh! #er #i hope not flesh
uhhhh. right-o, then #i'm sligtly worried by the rate of fluctuation on that 'population' graph i wouldn't have guessed. ... you're not wrong... please don't be a joke book please don't be a joke book please don't be a joke book oooooookayyyy... aw shit, is that that dog? yyyyye- okay, no, that's to much of a white lie, even if i do owe you you... won me over? yep. #just gonna #leave it at that
i'm gonna say, yes, given how much time fuckery i had to pull to not get captured. again. my what now? #still no necro, bro uh. I thought we were through with the fighting shit? ...no comment. yes, yes you can. thank you for that, by the way.
cool. ... how about we don't start stripping, though. : | no, nope, no. i'd really rather not. gah! uh. it's better than I was expecting? in that it is not lingerie but i've gotta be real with you dude, it still sucks ass. yes, that, absolutely. okayyyy... more friendship is good, right? more friendship means less romance, right? #no #necro uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't suppose it's that dog like your last awesome final redtext thing was? alright. do i want to find this secret?
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh over here seems safe shit, this inspecting thing isn't stopping from happening. can i give up? well, here seems fairly safe, too. oh thank god sure. *CASTOR'S MOM'S voice echoed...* ..thank you. i could probably guess blind, at this point. you don't say
wait, it's not spaghetti? #genuine shock oh spaghetti with meatballs, then? oh that's wine. that you're supposed to do that to. i'm pretty sure that's wine. oh thank god well, that's not too...
fuCK! i suddenly regret everything. no. you're better than you're cooking. #no necro ... uh, whoa, back up there no, no it has not. fucking hell, what have I gotten myself into?
thank... you? uh oh uh. uhhhhhh. look, i know i've given you shit for your fakeouts in the past buuut i would really appreciate one right now *castor braces for impact* *castor battens down the awkward hatches* *castor puts their finger on the "reset the timeline" button* *castor relaxes. slightly.* oh okay. can do. will do. sounds like a plan. good. #oh thank god #also #whoops
sdfghj the friend hang out version is hilarious too, i didn't even know you could do that! I can't help myself from flirting with Papyrus :P
yeah. yeah. That sounds like a plan. oh dear yyyyyyess, i definitely think that will make things less awkward also, last i heard she was on her way here to imprison me. i mean, not anymore, because i wiped that timeline from existence or at least hopped off it like a rat from a burning ship but that still doesn't sound like a person i'd prioritize hanging with sure. that's not terrible advice, actually. see? that, by way of comparison, is terrible advice.
sweet. now I can call some and not just listen to the ringing of toriel's phone before I get sad and hang up #i really fucked that one up, didn't I? yes. Believe me, there is absolutely no confusion on that point. ...it's your house oh, too bad. well, catch you later! well, that could have been more awkward. technically speaking. #like flirting with your self-appointed mom #waiT SHIT we're not thinking about that #no nope nope nope no
Shit, there's another liveblog in town, I better get back on this. Okay now what in the fresh hell is going on here. We've got the same noises as that place where I got that wrong call, we have water above me now somehow, and this river with no readily apparent source, and a cliff on the other side of whatever I'm walking on that the river hasn't spilled over. Also, different rocks. Those definitely look folded to me, which suggests that what I was looking at before was metamorphic foliation. So to sum up. We have a cave in a mountain View attachment 5491 With a large, deep hole down to a series of ruins, presumably modified from existing caverns. View attachment 5492 Below these ruins is a much larger cavern or caverns, containing a city View attachment 5638 and an odd approximately linear series of stepped/terraced cliffs View attachment 5986 Far above the floor of an absolutely massive forested cavern. View attachment 6085 These cliffs contain their own internal caves, odd gaps (possibly extensional jointing?) View attachment 5974 including some that are quite large View attachment 6086 and at least two underground rivers, neither with a source that I have found, View attachment 5835 View attachment 6123 and at least one of which is definitely flowing along the top of this line of cliffs, not spilling down to the cavern floor below. View attachment 6124 (this image probably less than 200m from the previous) furthermore, the cliffs seem to drop off along both sides, so I don't think I'm just skirting the rim of this massive cavern, it looks like there's a bizarre raised line of cliffs down the middle of it. View attachment 6078 Lithology seems to be mostly medium-to-high grade metamorphism, possibly gneiss, which suggests that all this rock was exhumed from deeper in the crust. This blue rock might be a glaucophane schist or something like that, although those usually aren't quite this strikingly blue. Could also be a bunch of secondarily precipitated azurite, I guess? That seems pretty unlikely, though. I suppose the mountain could be a metamorphic core complex? That would exhume a bunch of metamorphic rocks, get some mountains by isostatic rebound and horst and graben shit, and give the extension to make joints in the cliffs, but doesn't explain the formation of this massive cavern, especially because the rivers I've seen aren't in the right positions to have carved it. I suppose they could have moved beds, though, and joints and normal faulting would give planes of weakness for water to run down and start an erosional cave. I dunno if i've ever heard of those making big open caverns like this, though. Will have to investigate further.
Would you look at that. This river continues to make no fucking sense. :I I'm getting the oddest sense that the hydrology of the area is actively fucking with me. I have no idea who "she" is, so no. #well that's not quite true #i do have an idea #i just hope i'm wrong Just when I thought I couldn't hate plants any more... determination to FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE GEOLOGICALLY, YES Isn't this basically the same as your other job, just on the other end of town? no. Are those... rocks? Okay, there's some serious erosion going on here, and the capacity and competence of this river is pretty damn terrifying. Maybe I shouldn't go blithely wading out into it. Eh, what's the worst that can happen. I die again?
I guess that answers the question of why the river hasn't cut over the cliff yet. I wonder how long before it eats through it completely. Maybe that's how the bigger gaps in the cliffs got there. chiaroscuro! swanky. aw shit you better not sell me out after all those friendship escapades i went through, tallbones yes. no. timeshit. sure, close enough
!!! A for effort, pal. but i'm gonna have to flunk you on "actually getting my shit out of the proverbial fire" >:C
shit, busted oooooor not? That was maybe a little close for comfort, though. I'm not liking the looks of this Undyne lady. #also #my stealth still sucks ass yes, unfortunately for any hope of sleep tonight #say, how long has it been #i suppose night isn't really a relevant concept underground go dunk your head in the river, kid. new plan. we make you a human disguise and send you to meet her. It'll be wacky funtimes role-switching shenanigans, like in all those kid's stories. after you. #if you blow my cover, though... damn right i do. (also is that an elemental stars/sol sanctum reference I hear?)
