Single Thread RP Limbo.

*Rope points at Riolu, very angrily.*
I've killed things more powerful than you for lesser insults!
"Really? That doesn't sound accurate, though on the other hand, you look like you're used to having much more power than you do currently."
"Let me tell you a story about one of my teachers, Hatchet; once, Hatchet was a member of a mercenary squad. Around that time, Hatchet was invited to a battle tournament, where he fought many enemies. But in the end of the fight, when he was facing his final enemy, he was losing. But his coworkers in the mercenary squad had convinced the entire crowd to cheer for him, and that gave him the confidence he needed in order to defeat the final opponent."
"The moral of the story is this: Having the crowd cheering for you is one of the greatest advantages you can get in a fight. But so far, one of the only things you have done here is insult everyone else. I have no doubt that if we fought, the majority of the people here would want me to win."

*Rope god looks like he undergoes every emotion possible in about 5 seconds, mostly frustration, shame, and embarrassment, but can't deny that Riolu has a point.*

I... You're right. Normally, I could more than likely go toe to toe with all 6 of you and win. If I really wanted to, although it would be boring, none of you would even touch me. I can't teleport, I can't go invisible or incorporeal, I can't use my sensory power right! Being mortal is STUPID!

I can't even fully fly, although I probably could once I get the hang of physics here. Now i can... What? Start fires? Whip things well? Build a good shelter? I'm sure any of you could do that! My only good use is infinite fuel for a fire and reliably irritating anyone you want me to.
Fine! Although I won't point fingers about who's the strongest or most useful (*He smiles bashfully upon saying this*), I suppose it wouldn't matter until we have a common enemy. It's so boring when I'm not risking my life...
 
(I would reply to this, but I need to get this off my mind: what is that format? Is the white text her expression, or...? I apologize for my monkey brain, it's just hard to understand.)
(The light silver text is FT_Esther; unless a character has multiple text colors in my color list (found in my AMA thread, FT_Mirror isn't listed there until she's given a nickname IC), each text color is a different character entirely.
FT_Esther will use the silver text usually reserved for normal_timeline_Esther's OOC comments to limit confusion between the two versions (and normal_timeline_Esther won't be showing up OOC in this roleplay because her text color is already in use).)

(Ooh, I remember that; that was fun. (For anyone curious, I was Hatchet, also known as Nick Furry.))

(Also, I'm gonna try to remember to keep working on my character for this; I'm making progress.)

Ok, after reading over this multiple times I can conclude it still doesn't make sense.
What's the normal timeline? What's FT mean? "The two versions"?

(The normal timeline is the timeline this roleplay, other roleplays, and most of my lore arcs take place in. FT is short for Fallen Timeline, which is the timeline Mirror is from in this roleplay (as this timeline's Mirror is even less experienced with adventuring; FT_Mirror has been traveling for a while looking for soul shards by the time this roleplay happens, while normal Mirror only has a summer field trip that she could reasonably call an adventure). The two versions are this timeline's Esther and the Fallen Timeline's Esther; this timeline's Esther is alive and well, FT_Esther is nearly dead and severely weakened, only being alive because she got incredibly lucky.
If you want to know more about the Fallen Timeline (it may help with context), let me know and I'll post my notes in TLPW so you can read them.)
 
{Wow, a lot happened while I was gone. Please forgive me if I mess up the story; three pages of Mirror and Rope lore that I missed is messing with me.}

(Bright takes a deep breath; a strange mix of fear and confusion holding him back until now. He taps Tethin on the shoulder to tell him that he is going to check out the mess before rejoining the hunt later.)

"So, you might've already said this-- everything is happening so fast-- but what's your name?"

(One page of it was just arguing dw about it)
(Btw my comment about letting me know if you want info about the Fallen Timeline applies to everyonel I understand my lore can be a bit confusing at times)

(So, Mirror, just a different Esther, but they're the same person, and Mirror is from a different timeline where she's more inexperienced?)

(Mirror is a different Esther, but not the same person. And in this roleplay she's from a timeline where she has more, not less, experience)
(This reminded me that I should update the Reflection summary in my lore thread. When I go do that I'll also add the Fallen Timeline information to the thread.)
 
(Ooh, I remember that; that was fun. (For anyone curious, I was Hatchet, also known as Nick Furry.))
(Actually, I was thinking that this was a different Hatchet; the details of the fight story Riolu said are completely different from how the fight went in the playthrough we did. (Also, for anyone wondering, I used Demolitionist during that playthrough.))

(I've updated the Reflection summary (It wasn't a big update as summary development is paused until I finish building the mountain in Minecraft) and added the Fallen Timeline notes as well.)
 
"Yep, I'm sure. As for the cracks, let's just say you aren't the only one who's had experience with others tryin' to eat you. It was... not a proud day for me. I got into a bad situation and did some stuff most people wouldn't have done. But in short, a giant lizard bite down on my leg, now whenever something hits my back calf, it gets all weird and sore."
Cool. Is that your worst one.. or?
 
*The Rope god makes strands of rope climb up a nearby tree like vines.*

I wonder... Would any of you have any use for a chopped down tree? I might be able to sever this one.
 
”Yep. A little poke and it gets all delicate. Still upset how it happened but we can’t change the past, just make sure the future is better. Also, can I please have my coat back?”
Chis hands back the coat.

Not me.
