(((ooc: if there's a good reason for your character to hop in and give advice, feel free!)))
after making it past the mad scramble that was the entry of the game, I'm left sitting here with a trashed house, a mythical quest and a whole lot of coplayers. so I guess here I'll be documenting my quest and personal things, in the hope that maybe it'll make sense looking back.
besides, if it turns out I do get sucked into the replayer chain, I'll probably want to be able to look back on my first session. so, here we go.
I'm about three weeks into the session so far. these nakking purple crocodiles called me the Prince of ______, but since they can't even say the aspect I figured it's V id. I'm on the Land of Mist and Plains (unrelated to the Aspect mist, it's more like fog really) and I guess some guy is trashing the place. I've been exploring the villages and dungeons in the upper hemisphere of my Land. my Sprite ollied outy after telling me some garbled nonsense about my quest.
Walking up on Derse was hard for me, it turns out Vo d p aye s have an issue with their dreamselves slipping through dimensions when they're not in control. but anyways, i visited the black queen and figured out what was up with all the chess racists. turns out they're fighting over the ultimate reward and I decided if a reward is ultimate enough for an eternal chess war then we probably want in on it.
i met some of my coplayers in the game, and things were a little awkward because we were just sort of summer camp buddies pre-sburb. i also found out that two of us are presumed dead, their lands are dark and we haven't heard from them in weeks. I guess it's okay, I wasn't particularly close to them and we still have a Sylph of Time and two Space players (we have some people with the same aspects)
so far we've figured out what's basically going on, we're a bunch of heroes that need to take back our land from the bad guys, make buddy buddy with the chess people on our moons and do some quests to get stronger so we can get the ultimate reward instead. I'm sure it'll be just that simple.
stay tuned for when everything inevitably goes to the dogs and a whole lot of bullshittery happens. i guess my goal is to become the strongest Prince I can be, I'm particularly fascinated with my Aspect abilities and just what I can do. the best way to do that so far seems to be to keep clearing out these dungeons that the purple guys keep sending me to.

If I may, dear? It's rare that a first sessioner can connect to Replayer networks, simply due to issues of probability. I wouldn't call you lucky or blessed, not given the game you are in, but relatively perhaps you are! I'll try to follow your story and offer advice as best I can. You've been doing an admirable job so far, don't get me wrong, but there is always room for more knowledge in the murder game. What is it that oldies cartoon once said? Knowing is half... something. I've never been particularly good with my references!
If you do have a Mist player feel free to invite them to your land often barring the coincidence of interpersonal conflicts with them. Players of Mist, appropriately enough, have a sort of natural affinity for Lands of Mist. In general all their stats and abilities receive boosts that may be noticeable, especially during the ever difficult first Unbreakable Unions (don't worry about this for now).
The Void player dreamself issue is indeed a problem, related to a common bug within their Sleep_Ratio stat where they occupy the twilight between dreaming and wakefulness at all times due to a lack of the stat's actual existence. It can wreak utter havoc on your ability to do quests within The Dreaming parts of the game when you cannot navigate your way out of where your dreamself has landed. Some Dreaming questlines are very helpful to complete come endgame due to rewards and session-specific information acquired. Unfortunately with a session of pure first time players there are few solutions I am not hesitant to recommend... I'm sorry, but this particular one stumps me. Perhaps someone else is more familiar with a solution to the problem. Failing that your coplayers and friends on Derse will simply have to pick up your dreamself's slack during the times he vanishes.
If you are handling the deaths well then I am glad for you! The first death that truly hits hits hardest, but that is also something to not worry about for now.
My final thought concerns your Classpect assignation. The Prince of Void is one of the cases where the Prince's innate ability, [Carne Vale], is actually fairly helpful for the most part instead of being a rather difficult skill to use without causing issue. You will either destroy nothing, which is harmless, or destroy the concept of nothing, which is creation. A lack of limitations on the metaphysical boundaries of Void interpretation (likely due to the innumerable bugs associated with the aspect) means that as you progress on your quest, or gain ARC, you shall be capable of summoning many things helpful from the Void. Though you must be careful of what you summon, which goes without saying. I would advise you to be prepared to fill a pseudo-supportive shenanigans role. While the Prince is normally a strong combat class due to their ability to metaphysically destroy, 'destroying nothing' is somewhat limited in combat application. You will be able to hold your own until you reach the Battlefield for sure, which is likely a ways away. So, even though I've said this many times already, don't worry about it for now!
I hope your session continues to go relatively smoothly, at least for you! Watch for your coplayers reactions to the two deaths and be prepared to console them if need be.

a lot's happened since the last time i posted here and i'll try to explain as best i can.
my session has, as i jokingly predicted in my first post, gone to the dogs in the worst ways possible. my co-leader is dead (as far as i know) my seer of mind is full-on angel corrupted, nobody is fulfilling their quests, the reckoning is probably coming to wipe us all out because of the lack of progress anyone is making, and i think we have a few budding player killers on our hands.
i think that i was never meant to play with this group. i think they're like the Beforus trolls i've read about. i've been scrambling to find a way out and i think i found it in by seeking out my Denizen, and she offered me The Choice. in return for taking her with me, she's shown me a way to escape through the Furthest Ring to link into the replayer chain from the outside. in order to do that i need to broker help from the friendly neighborhood Other.
so, i've got to find a way to transport my planet, which i think means manipulating my Witch of Space into using the Spacey thing. i need to avoid telling my coplayers im basically gonna ollie outy and leave the burning shambles of the session to be taken by the Others. i need to get help from HT (if you're reading this help plz) and then i need to link up with a new host session. oh, and i guess i have to find a way to god-tier before doing all that.
advice would be really appreciated. looks like i'll be officially joining your ranks soon enough, provided my corrupted buddies don't catch wind and kill me.

Quest bed on your Land if your dreamself and realself are both alive, sacrificial slab in your dream moon crypt if you're down a self, use it. yee. If you need a method to bypass exileblocking suicide (I only endorse that for godtiering purposes) rigging machinery to do the dirty deed and preventing yourself from being stopped once you've flung the launch switch is usually good enough. If strictly necessary I can provide further methods up to and including the recombination-troll-cinnamon-poisoning trick but if your Denizen doesn't want outs of this session enough to enjoy chucking you on a quest bed and eating your vital organs with her big snakey cosmic jaws maybe that's your problem.
Alright, let's get negotiating. What are you or Her Honor Your Denizen whateverhernameis going to put up to the table (and which one is she cuz I know Old Isn't employs at least two nagaqueens) just to start? I'd like to get paid out of this.
Current terms I'm willing to work with are just you just handing personally me your soul, mind, body, and associated property for an unspecified duration now and eternally later, not like I'm going to use that...oh who am I kidding you're kind of too fatewoven to just eat now. Maybe we'll work on that later but right now you seem a little reticent to just hand in the shiny now since you intend to dodge corruption.
Ritual of Sensation probably with added telelink regardless of whatever else I make you pay for is a good minimum I'm in the mood to get a new channel out of this.
I can flag you as clear for research purposes (mostly because I wanna see what exactly the madame of emptiness will invoke) as long as you don't attack anyone, and honestly if she's just going to use V id divinity to her advantage you two can just falcon bitchslap timespace spacetime two new ones and shortcut through the Great Empty. If necessary I can use the collective telekinetic might of millions of psychic troll ghosts to just fling the damn planet into the Ring with you and her in tow (it will cost you extra), but you might need to avoid, secure, or remove gates 2 through 6 on your Land (and likely remove any of the 2-through-6 gates on other Lands that lead to your spire or Land unless you just want everyone to come with you once they realize you ollie outied and/or you make it), and if the session gets scratched or eaten behind you yeah you don't want yours operational because they'll just fling you into ringspace, possibly with a bunch of hungry Ringbeasts freshly bloodlusted from sessioneating. If the session remains stable behind you then you can just leave them but it's probably a bad idea to use them while you're in ringspace or voidspace because obvious reasons or leave them.
while that plan's valid I have a better idea
Let's go back to the 'your soul is mine for a duration and nebulously later as I choose' plan. Kys in the appropriate method to godtier, corrupt yourself lightly with the appropriate grimoires, alchemize a Wallet fetch modus (try various wallets with fetch modi, wallet && Array tends to work best), and just captcha the whole damn planet and everything on it since the corruption will bypass various restrictions related to things you can't pick up and avoid destroying large light-producing objects, ping your session using the instructions described in various grimoires substituting as necessary to name me, the lord Freh'dric'k the Gatekeeper, wait until a servitor-body of mine shows up, we'll work out some fine printy terms for borrowing you now and later as I want, punt the session border a new one so I can waltz in and do the corrupty thing to your soul, and I'll send you flying through space and time in the appropriate direction. Lillian can and most likely will provoke telestialGrotto into performing the appropriate signaling spells and continue using her status as a religious figure to gently prod her into hugging me back out of you for now once you've deposited that Land somewhere nice and safe in-session.
Formally decayfreeing your Land can either be handled by you, your denizen, or my buddies depending on how persistent the script is, but if it's relocked to your new session or won't be an issue that's unnecessary. If nothing else it might even be in payment terms, realspace materia is an up and coming commodity.
Alright, thoughts on that little plan?

alright, let me get straight what it is you want. you want me to willingly allow you to jack my soul at random times, but you won't permanently corrupt me, correct? but, during the whole process of time leading up to my entry into the new session you want to go all Harbinger and Assume Direct Control? if i'm misunderstanding your terms then let me know.
I have no qualms with you getting use out of me in exchange for providing passage out of here, you mentioned the Ritual of Sensation? I can do that, and really anything else you ask of me, you can even get first dibs on my session if you want, but i'd really, really prefer to keep my shiny nice and clean. i can be cooperative without you messing with that.
also, my Denizen is a nice snake lady named Nyx.
if you could just send a list of whatever steps you need me to take, i'll do them. but i think we're running out of time. i've already killed that angel-corrupted seer of mind and others are bound to catch on soon.

More or less that works yes sure let's go but keeping your shiny clear and me using you as an agent is currently various kinds of objectively impossible unless you intend to blow up the wall and let me float in myself, which we have sent plans for if you need.
Ugh, second thing is I can't exactly help if I can't find you. Have yourself or Nyx basically signal me specifically where your session is in space and time or you're more or less gonna have to shove your Land into the Ring or otherwise out of that incipisphere.
Sent a set of proper pinging instructions for me and everybody in my deals network, if a Denizen is being nice about it the problem is real so all of us are going to pitch in for fine details. We'll offer the get-out part free and we can negotiate details once you're out of immediate danger.
It's either jack your soul and grab the land and run so you can basically ignore however many months or years it'll take, or you fling the land into the Ring and end up waiting a few perceptive months or years before anything happens, I have instructions for both sent. Just ping and we'll be there in relative moments at a nearby point by the edge of the Incipisphere and you can annihilate the legal barrier enough for us to get in, get you, and preferably get out with the goods before your shiny is not yours to sell.
Alright, go, go, this'll be entertaining.

alright, gotta make a quick stop at the ectobiology lab because if I don't paradoxically create myself and my coplayers no one will.
ive been looking over the instructions for both options you sent. as much as I hate to admit it, I think the option that involves the less wait time between sessions is the one I'm gonna go for.
so, once I'm done being fuckdeep in ecto-babies, I have to fly myself to the end of the incisisphere, ping you my location, use my denizen-upgraded destructive powers to blast a hole in reality, let you come inside and you'll grab me and my land and then from my perspective I'll wake up in the new session? i just want to be extra certain that i do what i need to do properly.
are things being done at wizardlyLuminarys session to make sure the link is set up? I haven't heard from them in awhile.

Well, you'll be blasting the edge of the Incipisphere open rather than through reality; if Nyx was asking you to switch to Doom and do that you would've left already.
Lillian has...handled the situation on that end. Suffice to say that is why telestialGrotto has been...not one for communication for the past few minutes.
Let's go already before you di~e!
