Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

e: there we go
For a given value of "cat" anyway. Not so much appearance, but in easy-going, good natured, destructive sado-egocentrism it is cat-like in the extreme.
Also the name is pretty feline.
Edit: I'll make this an in-character post in a second, dang.

"Nah, forget it, we don't want you to step on anything nasty or injurious. Lets get you some shoes. I'm sure there's some storage around here for the inmates. They might have something that'll do until we can trade for something better at the settlement."
With Jimothy in tow I see if I can't track down the clothing storage in one of the buildings. With luck they might have some shoes in Jimothy's size, or something close enough anyway.
I love whining, too.
Henry is goddamn busy.
Edit: Also, chronicles are updated if anyone cares.
Edit2: Sorry about not getting you sprites, SR, I am having a pixel block like damn with most of these.

Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
[Dan][55%]
Syd raises her hand to blow a hole in the roof, the lance of fire surging out to rip open an exit just as the barricades give way. The windows of the cabin shatter, and dozens of clawed obsidian arms reach in, tearing apart the furniture piled in front of them. The couch goes flying away from the door as two carbosilicate creeps burst into the room, their shells cracked and leaking from the impact, their forms hazy and sparkling in the heavily iRADiated atmosphere.
Bob grabs Sydney and, faced with certain death on all sides, with no obvious way to reach the hole in the ceiling above... jumps.
The two surge up through the ember-lined hole and out into the cold air beyond. The horde follows, leaping up through the opening and clambering up onto the roof. Their claws reach up to snap at Sydney's dangling heels. Bob realizes just how high they are and logic prevails - what goes up must come down.
Syd in his arms, he begins to fall back toward the carbosilicate swarm...
Jack's hand closes around Syd's. Ruby lists in the air as Jen tries to compensate for the added weight. It isn't much, but just enough for one of the creature's to leap up and snatch onto Syd's ankle. It twists and shakes, trying to climb up the pyrokinetic girl's leg to reach the tank above.
Dan puts a bullet between where its eyes would be. Its head pops like a rotten egg, spilling bone chips, blood, and bits of brain matter out onto the ground below. Its claw releases, and the body drops into the swarm below.
<Alright, enough fucking around then!> Jen calls out to those onboard. <Let's get the fuck out of this hell hole. Next stop - beautiful San Fransisco!>
Ruby banks around and streaks off into the night.
Below, one of the horde stands up and watches the tank disappear into the distance. It reaches out and absently strokes the skull of the creep beside it. Hrm. Hrm. Hrm. Curious.
[Cobalt][47%]
[9%][Ambient RAD climbs to 67%] A horrid little creature that appears to be a disembodied, over-sized head of a raccoon appears on the ground in front of Cobalt, two beefy tendrils of muscle and striped fur extending from its back. It rolls about for a bit in confusion before figuring out how to scoot along the ground using its tail-ear... things.
A thick green fog settles around the airport, green embers drifting lazily through it as a wash of sickness hits Cobalt.
The hooded figure looks down at it for a moment. It twitches for a moment before falling onto its side, blood leaking from its eyes. The hooded figure turns back to you. "Freaker. Creates life. Alright."
Dropping down from the nose of the plane, the hooded figure walks over and flips Cobalt over. There is no face beneath the hood - just a stylized green skull projected onto black glass. A bike helmet or something? It's hard to tell.
"So, you think you're not a chump? You think you've got something the world could use? We'll see. Got someone for you to meet. This is gonna hurt."
Cobalt's heart stops. [Cobalt has Died]
[Deluge][13%]
Makali knows that Uriel was not wrong - the components do not matter. What matters is the acceptance of the conversation/incorporation process. The more a being fights, the more they damage the subneural matrix of the shell. They hurt both themselves and the terminal in the process, in addition to increasing the required time for purification by a factor of ten. It is not ideal. A person who accepts the incorporation speeds up the purification process, and minimizes the chances of corruption whilst purification is being completed.
The being glances down at the arm. Makali knows that the implants will have to be removed entirely. The chance of corruption is too high, and the effects of corruption on a human are unknown. It would be an interesting experiment, perhaps, but there is not time for such meandering.
Makali knows that he will be put under for a few days whilst the repairs are done. It is the most efficient way to work.
Makali's mind shuts off. The carbosilicate entity quickly catches him and lowers him gently onto the table.
There is a puff of green smoke. Without bothering to look at the delivery man, the carbosilicate entity lifts Cobalt's lifeless form and places it on the table alongside Makali...
[Alcatraz][26%]
Everything is just about to settle back down when a dot appears on the horizon, growing large as it rapidly approaches the island.
Ruby twists about in the air above the courtyard, Jack leaping off and setting Dan and his bike down. Jen spins her tank around a few more times before landing, and you can't help but get the impression she really, really wishes it provided any sort of ground effect. As the vehicle settles onto the ground, Jen and Sydney help haul Kain out onto the ground. "We got a man down here, guys!" Jen calls. "Anyone know what the fuck to do about a guy spitting up black goo? Which he will be cleaning out of my tank's cockpit if he doesn't die."
Felix rushes over to help, Maibell helping him drag the heavily-scarred man back to the doctor's office.
Ignoring everyone, Cassandra makes her way back to her tower, pausing briefly to pick up the picture Chuck left her. She "smiles" warmly and sticks it to the carbosilicate screen beside the boy's earlier drawing. Reaching up a hand, she pressed down an icon on the screen and a crackling noise races out across the island. Attention all inhabitants of the island and new arrivals. I wish to speak with you in the tower. There are matters that must be discussed. Thank you.
wooo
hi5s to all
edit: cobalt noooooo
Wait, no. The other thing!

While walking to the next building to get Jimjum some shoes, I see the tank land and Syd's call for help for the bandaged man. Running in close to get a look at him and a quick gaze over his subneurals. Hmm, disturbing info. I follow Felix and Maibell back to the office.
"I think I may be of help here."
Hey Speed, you wanna be a limb?
I can do something with this.
I can do many somethings with this.
:whistle:
With my last breath I curse Uylss
"Familiar..." Dusty eyes the scarred man being dragged into the infirmary. "Too familia-a-a-ar." Walking up to the tank, Dusty stands on his tippy toes and investigates the black goo, taking a sample on his fingertip. "Curious why you saved him." He rubs the goo between his fingertips, flaking the substance to the ground as he takes a glance at Jen. "Will trust yrrrk judgment. Insubordination on his part will be met with a bullet. Hope it does not come to that." Stepping over the vomit puddles, he starts toward the tower. "Good to ha-a-ave you back. Much has happened."

be a dude's arm for a GM that you destroy the universe... how many times?

Jen shrugs. "He kinda fell on my tank. I already let shot him once - he's gonna have to piss me off again to deserve another shot." She flips her mohawk. "'Course, if you wanna punish him... Well, I'm not exactly gonna protest in the streets or anything."
"Not many would, for his sake. A sad exi-i-iste-e-ence."
I assume we're flying out? real cool like?
DE?AD just forgot your mission complete
Jen grins. "Y'know what, weird Sandperson dude? You're alright."
Mission complete rewards in the next thread, when I am not tired.
