Fate/Phantom Soul Session 5: Veda and the Attack of the Gainaxing Automatons

Well, chat, after that emotionally fraught and emotional update with the last one I come to you with a minor add on.


We are once more on the run again! After talking to the church and having Princess Shrimp-For-A-Butt wander off to a brunch date with the New New Girl at Das Strööpwaffel, we had a bunch of robots march their lanky, long-armed asses through the woods looking for us.


Like… I suppose that they might have been there for benevolent purposes. But having nearly a dozen arcane robo-assassins marching through the woods when… you know… we're not supposed to talk about magic and are supposed to refer to it as hockey, Pokemon, and mascots and whatnot means that somebody is not taking their part of the whole veil of secrecy seriously.


Clanky-Clank and the Clunky Bunch aren't exactly the most subtle things in existence considering the ones we say looked like an assortment of candy with Generic Jawbreaker White, Classic Lime and Definitely Not Sour Apple Because Sour Apple Sucks and I Fucking Hate You Lifesavers For Replacing Lime for a Shitty Flavor Which I Hate, and also Grape.

Fate/Phantom Soul Session 4: Veda and the HP Lovecraft If You Know What I Mean

Hey chat!

It's been a bit and I've got more to talk about.


Not only do we have New New Girl (who is very definitely not a witch), but we also have New Girl's evil twin. Technically they're not related (Thyra I'm sure would've mentioned having a sister who has been missing for months), but they're actually somehow the same person, or variations of the same person.


Umm… I guess they're different versions of Wayne Gretzky that… I dunno? Play in different positions or something? Despite being so close to Canada by way of Minnesota, I'm not really much of one for hockey. Though it does not have a ball, it's still one of those Sportsball things that I don't have any real interest in.


Except maybe that one NES Ice Hockey RPG that I can't remember the name of, where you go from town to town playing big teams and get into random encounters with minor league teams in short games.


[VK note: Oh wow, apparently the game I'm thinking of never actually got released. Hit the Ice never made it onto the NES, even though it was developed enough to where I read about the RPG mode in Nintendo Power 30-some years ago. Magi meddling apparently made it a thing in the FATE verse, what with the "Stanley Cup" being a thing and all. Veda deserves to be able to play it after all we put her through and will put her through.]

Fate/Phantom Soul Session 2+3: Veda and the Curse of Luigi Spaghetti

 

Hello once again chat!


So it seems like our merry band of two normal people and two wizards from a secret society of wizards (who I hope are not associated with the Moldyshorts, the Dark Lady of TERF What Lives In a Black Mold-Infested Castle's secret society of wizards) has expanded!


Joining Ms. French, Stabby Junior, Princess Shrimp-For-A-Butt and myself is another wizard lady that got stuffed into a… hmm… well, considering we have two dragons and a Zergling, let's try and keep to that wizard secret society nomenclature-avoiding type thing and say she got stuffed into a mascot costume.


Very Five Nights at Freddy's, what with all the corpses lying around but also with us still being here possessing bodies of the mystical mascots that seem to be based on folks from myth and legend.
