Oh, uh. Yeah, totally. That was fucked up.

[ I didn't tell them about the crew to host roadmap... ]

[ i have been trying so hard to let the crew explain this help me ]

There's - y'know. Fjord said it already. You lose, you get another chance, but you gotta make it all the way to Host in order to get it.
katzepaw: (scrying)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-14 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. And if you do make it to Host, do you get it automatically, or does it still depend on your team winning?

I think it's just about point accumulation, right? Beau's been at this for a... long time.

It's why, if we can wing it, I'd like to prove that the rumours about the golden season are true, even if Beau doesn't believe it is. The better the season's performance, the more points you attain as an associate of OFMG, which means higher ascension through the ranks: contestant, backstage crew, backstage team lead, front-facing host, contract fulfillment.

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-15 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That would certainly be ideal. But do you think it will happen on a season where the fans took over the ending like this?

And if we don't attain it, you are going to continue on here until you host?

[personal profile] fjorge 2026-04-15 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. That's definitely a portion of what I'm worried about.

And I don't know. If it was at no loss to me, since time doesn't move, then I was considering it. [ Even though Fjord as a front-facing NPC is so much to consider. I guess he'd do alright though. ] Obviously you guys being here changes that. My wish, I can shelve it, or change it.

This was going to be my back-up if checking out the Soltryce Academy didn't work out anyway.
katzepaw: (quartz block)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-15 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[help…]

Ah. The Soltryce Academy is probably not for you. I am sorry I never said so.

I went there when I was younger, so I know a bit about it.

[personal profile] fjorge 2026-04-15 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No? But you're so versed in magic. You didn't pick that up from there?
katzepaw: (transmute stone)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-15 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I did. But, um, it is usually young people they accept. Teenagers, or younger ones at first.

Um, I learned a lot there. But the people in charge of it are, um… I would not put my trust in them. And they are not interested in helping anyone learn about magic who will not go on to serve the Empire’s interests.

That fellow, at the Harvest tournament, who interrogated Yasha so much. Do you remember him? He was a teacher there, when I went.

[personal profile] fjorge 2026-04-15 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, alright? I see, so it's -- it's one of those. He was an odd fellow, yeah. Intense.

Did you mention this to me already? Where you're at and you know me. Have I already dropped this idea of going to the Soltryce Academy?
katzepaw: (catapult)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-15 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Very odd, yes. [He is a dangerous man.] You have not said as much, but I have the sense maybe it is not your priority? You found something when we were on a job for the Gentleman that seemed to give you a different direction. And we went north, and could have gone through Rexxentrum, but it did not bother you to take a different route.

Beauregard would know better than I would.

[personal profile] fjorge 2026-04-16 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Noted.

Yeah, it's... there's a few different things I wanted to pursue, but admittedly, I haven't had the clearest direction. [ A glimmer of frustration, defeat, an ever-present confusion. ] Soltryce Academy was just one of the first material things I could tackle. A point on the map I could head to.

[ Through the thoughtshare you can hear a single, booming word -- LEARN. ]

...It doesn't have to be Soltryce, or Rexxentrum. Wherever you guys want to go is fine by me.
katzepaw: (broken bone)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-16 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
If it is magic you want to learn, I want the same, you know? We can find a way to learn more together.
fjorge: (pic#18327128)

[personal profile] fjorge 2026-04-16 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Uh, yeah. That'd be fantastic, actually.
katzepaw: (knock)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-16 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like a deal.

[holds a hand out to shake.]

[ nodding at what fjord says, but also: ]

I'm done, after this season. Doesn't matter who wins.
katzepaw: (control flame)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-15 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well. That is a relief, at least. One of us will get out of here with something to show for it even if L'Orange pulls off an incredible comeback.
absrasive: thank you lowe <3 (048)

[personal profile] absrasive 2026-04-15 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ frowns at this because it makes her feel guilty. he can probably feel the guilt unfortunately... ]

You could do the same as Fjord, but I don't want you to get stuck for fifteen seasons.
katzepaw: (golden reliquary)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-15 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[don't feel guilty.]

No, no. I don't want to stay.
absrasive: (003)

[personal profile] absrasive 2026-04-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ huffs. ]

Yeah, I don't want you to either. Maybe we oughta start chasing that rumor Fjord keeps talking about.
katzepaw: (strip of cloth)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-04-16 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be a bad thing. But I'll be alright if not. But I'd still really like... [To save Sua, to get Jem his independence, to save Nozomi's friends.]

We may as well try.
absrasive: (017)

[personal profile] absrasive 2026-04-15 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
This is why I was telling you not to worry about me. [ huff puff. ]
