Kurt S.

The PS4 can't do games in 4k, and if you're forcing it to upscale then you're actually hurting the picture quality. Set it to 1080p. Just got home from my cousin's. Yup, 1080p still has it. This might actually take me away from WoD for a while. I will dissect that demo and like Ground Zeroes play it for a long while yet.

Summoning Ramuh on a 4k tv....soo awesome... Cant wait for the full shtick to be out. Feels good since I've been waiting for this way back when it was under another name.

Well if you need some unaffiliated FC to judge I guess I could (i'd be biased for Berrod even though I dun really know him) judge. Nah my timezone won't allow it. But this idea, I believe it is a good one where people get to show off their Roegafine ladies and hot babelanders! I'd put the SMILE approval but well that was revoked and the boss already did so.

Cylin is an eager and helpful person near as I can tell. She's also patient and kind. Seeing as I dragged her into Garude - Windstorm (Normal Mix) and the two DPS were just bad. Still she tried to raise em and even though the fight lasted for more than an hour she was still a champ about it. I would run dungeons with her again. She knows her stuff!

Well I guess Kurt had like one on Adeya really but that kicked itself out the window very fast. And uhh hmmm...no one else really. Tatsu, but then that sorta imploded shortly after they became a thing. For Ramona well just a small bit of interest in Tia you know...N'velhi Tia. Keil had none. He's all screw crushes I'm in love with V'ari. Effie isn't going to admit anything! Nah...Naaaahhhhh... Nah: Theula'sae-senpai is so cool! Notice me more! That dreamy intense stare kyaah <3 *swoon*

Eorzea needs more roegafine ladies and babelanders. Steel Wolf and Cliodhna must be getting bored at the top of their respective clans. I unwittingly fired some shots didn't I?

I don't know why....I must either find the 'why' or find T'caska....you know what? Why not both? I will hunt you down.... OuO

Gonna go grab my type-0 preorder right now...man screw class I can't can afford another cut

Eleni as usual is trying her best to make people smile, someone also has to make her smile too among all other people, das why I'm her SMILE assistant. Also I wait for the day Eleni-senpai would notice me and maybe sneak an RP in there somewhere. Why? Because L'oreal, I'll leave you all to interpret that as you wish. EDIT: We've got Warren here who, as far as I can remember, back when I was still starting out here pointing out and clarifying stuff to me as I ask questions. Up to now he still does that (refer to that recent WHM thread) and I am thankful for it, helps me not look like an idiot in the future. Though I have yet to actually RP with the man himself. Nonetheless I'm thankful for his clarifications on certain stuff as well as putting up that Atma list (yes I don't know where to check the list in game) in his Zodiac guide.

tl;dr:We don't know, but there's plenty of theory. Which is a kinda like the point of my question and post. What theory could be possibly within acceptable standards? Or lets narrow it down and say 'standards that sounsyy would approve of' given her research into finding alternative methods of acquiring white ma-.... Right, lore reasons, we're trying to clarify things. Sorry. The point of the thread flew over my head again didn't it?

Okay so maybe I ended up skimming part of this thread (read: a lot of it) because of the arguments that didn't seem to clarify jack. Now what I did notice were 'nefarious means' and 'attaining White Magic for 'x' cause.' It's been thrown around a couple of times near as I can tell. And it's kind of piqued my curiosity as to what these 'Nefarious means' could possibly be. I didn't (probably mostly due to my skimming) see anything relatively conclusive as to what these 'nefarious means' might be. Now, I'm also aware that there probably won't be anything conclusive about it until the lore team says something.Still, what could be a possible 'nefarious method' to obtain white magic that's pretty much well within acceptable standards? I'm also 80% this question pertains to the topic at hand. Seeing as it is a question that involves the 'how to be a white mage' bit which in turn might help Heart over there find some way to maybe, just maybe squeeze some sort of progression to being a WHM. Or it could possibly backfire in the most horrible way. *Disclaimer: I am so very sorry if this would spark another argument, but curiosity asks that I ask. 50/50 the whole point of this thread sailed over my head again. Feel free to tear this post down if that's the case. *

That gif is my life. There is a reason I like crafting. (On a side note, please people. Let me make you HQ i90 armor if you're a fresh 50. Friends don't let friends wear AF into HM primals) Hey franz...you know what Nah was wearing in her first run Titan, Garude and Ifrit HM....AF gear AND a level 45 sword and shield. Huehuehue firgot to equip the Heavy Wolfies you made for her once upon a time.

Cylin has quite the entertaining character on Sae. I liked how Nah and Sae were basically trading snarks with each other in that...2 and a half hour long session? I'm not sure anyway. I like how entertaining Sae is.

*Wait 90++ minutes in queue for westwind on Nah(i75 PLD) for MSQ* *Get annoyed that one minute we're full on dps but lacking a healer, the next we're full on healers but lacking one dps* *Duty finally popped nearing the 100 minute mark.* *Local ISP decides its funny to simple die on me.* *Can Naht reconnect.* *Kinda wanna hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker into a whole pack of motherfuckers.* *Goes to sleep right now.* #puglyfe #2df4u Edit: Ah phones...oversizing everything. At least I got to RP with mister Frostheart up there that was a nice way bring out Nah's unflustered side.

I have had the chance to hold an ooc conversation with Jaques here. He strikes me as dedicated seeing as he said he was trying to organize several things at once despite being a bad multitasker. Also I think he's a patient guy when I uhhh accidentally exposed him to some Bad Breath by a nearby Morbol in Mor Dhona...really sorry about that.

I have roughly 3 months to get Effie to level 50, then gear her with at least i90 gear....same with Nah...and Keil. Then I'll bring Kurt through the MSQ. I've only just met Teledji and Yugiri, I still have a number of content to chew through right? A Zenith would be sufficient for it right? Ah well I'll savor my journey to 50 on Effie. Let everyone turn Ishgard into lag central and all. Granted, I got Nah to 50 in the space of less than a week. Also, Keil is practically the only one of my characters who'll probably end up in Ishgard due to his personal storyline, assuming I can make it work. I'm not really sure if Nako will bring his errand boy/girl along neither. It could be Kurt'll be left behind to hold the fort while the boss goes on an adventure T_T

This is the first I've seen Y'lani sound so in love. It's is adurbs, so very adurbs. Also she's a very entertaining person to RP with despite only RPing with her...twice? Anyway *SLAMS THE ICE CREAM SEAL OF APPROVAL, THE COFFEE CRUMBLE KIND*

IT'S SO CUTE AAAHHH Be still my heart. No... no need to belittle the lalas more than I already have. I made her as a joke...too bad not enough people find her entertaining enough to RP with or she'd probably be trying to prove herself over and over again. Prove to herself that her size isn't a hindrance nor is it...blah what's it matter. Now if I could only find a custom-made tunic to complete the upperbody, and so help me god, not butcher it.

Tried to draw Effie, not sure if I captured this little kneeshanker's cocksure personality. And I quote, "OZY, I'M TALLER THAN YOU DON'T FORGET THAT!" and I also quote "ROEGADYN SAYS SHE CAN TAKE ME ON, LEMME AT EM, I'LL SHANK THEIR KNEES!" and also "TOSS ME INTO THE FIGHT DAMN YOU!"

Rested her head atop her palms, her arms propped up on the counter. She hummed a tune as her tail lazily swished behind her while she waited for someone to step through the front door. No such luck it seemed. Nah ended up leaving her post on the counter and began walking past the shelves and taking note of what her father had stocked on and what he was selling in this little corner of Gridania. Of course it was a given that he'd have a shipment of potions lined up in neat rows on the shelves. So many bottled tonics that did a myriad of things for people who needed it. On another shelf were baskets of leaves and herbs, they ranged from cooking ingredients to some fairly common reagents. Their shop was small so it didn't take her long to return behind the counter, grabbing the book that was resting on top of it. She opened it and flipped through its pages. There were several rows and columns drawn on it, tables and lists, facts and figures. Her eyes scanned the content of each page. It recorded all of her father's placed order, which ones are still sitting on the shelves, how many were sold, which one's he's kept for his own personal use, and by extension, Nah's personal use. What caught her attention were the recent purchases made over the past fortnight since she had left for Ul'dah. They were all purchases of a particular kind of flower that her mother favors. Her father had to keep replenishing the stocks and every day it would sell out. Maybe those flowers were in season or all the rage but she couldn't remember that particular flower being used as an ingredient for perfumes neither would she understand why so many poisonous flowers were sold for the past few days. Her brows knitted together and her eyes focused on what was written on the book. She was unconsciously gripping the book tightly. She jerked upright and slammed the book shut when her ears perked up at the sound of the tiny bell above the door ringing, signifying the arrival of a guest. Her attention shifted to the door along with the best smile she could muster. It was her father stepping through the door, with him was a satchel. Hopefully it was the one Tajih owned. "Now I don't know what kind of business you have with that man and I can't exactly keep you sheltered forever. Just promise me you'll be careful when you meet him again." "I know, dad. I'll be careful. Did you look at what's inside?" "No, why would I invade the privacy of someone I don't even know. I don't stand to profit from it, Nah." "Fair enough, father." Her father walked over to the counter and deposited the satchel onto the counter top. Nah, for her part, pulled the apron off over her head and handed it to her father. He held his hand up to her, palm open, fingers together as if she was telling her to stop. "You keep manning the counter, Nah, I'll go upstairs and cook a little favorite of yours. I know that look on your face and you want to go grab the satchel and go find this mystery man of yours. Well at least let your old man have some quality time with his own flesh and blood." "I..well...alright then. I'll hold the fort down here just make it delicious yeah?" "I may undercut competitors and never play my cards around them but I won't do the same to my own daughter. You'll have it with extra shroud pepper, the way you like it, Nah." R'vehn fixed his daughter with a smile before to continuing on his way to the back of the shop and up the stairs. Nah went back to being behind the counter, she opened the log book again and reviewed what was written, make sure the numbers all lined up like they should. However that was short-lived when her father called her upstairs and told her to close up shop early. ~~~~~ R'vehn looked over the contents of the note sitting on the common room of their house on the second floor of the shop. It was a short and concise note that said something that was all too familiar. His daughter did not need this in her life, she didn't need to be pressured into doing this at all. He crumpled the note in his hand and slipped it into one of his pockets. He heard the footfalls of Nah as she climbed the staircase and turned to face her just her head was poking up from beneath the steps. "What's the matter dad?" "Nothing is the matter but maybe I think its time you see how I make your favorite dish. You are eating correctly right?" "Yes dad, Ul'dah has quite the selection if you could afford it at least." "Can you afford it?" "Nope." "Then look closely, young lady, and listen carefully I'm going to walk you through the procedure in making at least the food you like, you little carnivore." He grabbed the skillet and handed it to Nah, the ingredients they needed were already on the tabletop and lined carefully together. R'vehn began instructing Nah on the use of the skillet, the knives, casting the occasional 'cure' spell whenever she grazed her fingers with the knife. He wouldn't allow her to walk out of the house with more scars than she did walking in. A couple of bells, some botched attempts, lots of curing, blood wiping and replacement of ingredients, R'vehn stood back and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Nah had somehow created her peppered aldgoat steak. He hadn't expected how much his daughter never learned to cook, much less use her aether to aid the cooking. He made it a mental note to teach her more in the future. "I think...I think it's edible...is it edible dad?" "I...I don't know." "What do you mean? You can be honest with me, dad." "It's umm...well...I don't know how it's possible considering you buried it under so much pepper." "What's not possible?" "I can't taste anything. There's...there's no taste at all." "That can't be----twelve above, you're right, dad. How is--" "I don't know...I really don't know. Just...I'll go make some of my own finger sandwiches you can bring with you on your next adventure." "Sounds like a good idea. Umm, I'll clean this mess up, you can get started on the finger sandwiches, dad." "Aye." R'vehn took the skillet and knives Nah handed over to him. He walked over to the kitchen counter top and, with his forearm, brushed away the debris of their experiment and wiped the spot with his apron. It was at least a clean spot he could put their tools on and somewhere he could work on those sandwiches. He turned and went down the stairs as his daughter began the long and arduous job of trying to clean their mess up. Azeyma light her path indeed. -One Bell Later- "You have everything you need, Nah?" "Yes, dad." "Are you sure?" "Yes, dad." "What about an extra change of clothes?" "I have a spare set or two." "Ho--" Nah cut her father off by holding her hand up in a 'stop' gesture. She placed her hands on his shoulders and looked back at him. "Dad, I can take care of myself. I have the sandwiches. I have the clothes. I even took a few potions off shelves just in case I need them." "Which I totally did not tell you to take." "Which was totally my own idea. My armor is still serviceable, my sword is sharp and my ears are sharper." "are sharper." Her father joined in unison with her. He smiled at her and nodded, before ruffling her hair. To which, Nah tried to swat the hand away but it always seemed to dance out of the way. "You're still too slow though, Nah." "I'll be faster than you soon, old fart." "Hey, I'm only crawling on forty." "See you're already crawling." "I'll miss you." "Me too." "Come back when you hand that satchel over okay?" "I'll try, I still haven't exactly done what mom asked of me." Nah noticed her father's lips shrink into a thin line when she mentioned her mother and what she wanted her to do. She should have avoided mentioning that, he always seemed opposed to what mom wanted her to do. "Just be careful out there, Nah, maybe next time you don't spend a week away from home. Unless you don't like having your father's cooking?" "You know I can't say no to your food." "I know you can't, you're my daughter and I've groomed you to have no choice when it comes to food!" Nah gave her father a big hug. "I'll be back before you start growing any more grey hair, old fart." "Keep up the waiting and I'll be silver-haired and still devilishly handsome." "You wish...I'll really be back before you know it, dad." Nah didn't want to leave home. She didn't want to leave all these jabs behind and she wouldn't. As soon as she finds Tajih she'll make a beeline straight to the house and have another round of whatever it was her dad was cooking. Reluctantly she stepped away from her father. Her legs felt like they were loaded with iron and very heavy to lift but she had to get this satchel to the lost cat and find some way to do what was required of her. "For your sake, I hope you take your sweet time coming home, my little swashbuckling carnivore." R'vehn muttered to himself when he was confident she was out of earshot. He pulled the note out of his pocked and unrolled it, going over the message one more time before tearing it to shreds and returning to taking stock of their inventory.

Keil thankfully got through this fairly quickly after he donned his adoptive father's armor and lance. At least I think he did. Okay so maybe he's still stuck at step 4 and just does a good job hiding it from V'ari. 1. Yeah you know..he's dead right. 2. Anger? What the hell can I do against a behemoth on my own? 3. I think he skipped this. That behemoth probably...yeah I can't think of anything 4. Now what do I do with my life? Where do I go now? Just keep drifting..yeah. I mean he was supposed to be there astride the thing...not there dead on the ground. This....is like big brother dying all over again. I wonder just what would have happened if I solved it earlier. 5.???

Ilwe is a skilled artisan as far as I can tell. Those delicious animated old school avatars. *drool* I mean wut.

Considering I'm already thrusting Kurt into the world of Hydaelyn Engineering and he's already Cliodhna's little helper/gopher not to mention doing what he can with whatever pieces of tech the YTC has. And I have one last LS slot open...I can have an invite here yeah?

One of my other alts whom I never got around to using (like Kurt's kid sister or one of Ramona's old contacts) would be turned into an Au Ra....either that...or I send Effie back to Sharlayan and 'replace' her with an Au Ra.

One more name to add that I damn well forgot and feel very ashamed about fogetting. Avis Inkwood, literally Kurt's and my own first IC contact. We're in the same timezone...we should be seeing each other more...I'm sorry ;_; *also on your thingy with Clio the latest I've seen her up is like 4pm our time. Usually she clocks out like 330 ish.* On the Kurt front, she'd most likely be amused to know Kurt's stopped fishing for a bit. On the Ramona front, well you know she still kinda owns Ramona to an extent. Also maybe one of Ralyon's characters. It was fun RPing with Gentle Sun after all.
