ATP&EMP

ᛗ

Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's fourth ATP & EMP Meme! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

Dates to note are as follows:

- EVENT/TDM: March 1st
- RESERVES: March 13th
- APPS: March 20th - 26th

An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Current players may extend their invites, and if you don't know anyone in the game, the mod will make a decision (note that this does not guarantee an invite). Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either— only to reserve and app.

Use the forms below to show us those pretty white jaws!

No guts no glory.

Ratio needs to learn to herd his council circus affectionately... maybe they will give him more breaks and take naps if they are healthily stimulated and exercised daily... it's like the ultimate self-care experiment in the weirdest way.

Oh, come on. Peacock feathers are so pretty. He'll look great!

[athinkingreed]

“No guts, no glory.” - Aventurine before doing something to give Ratio grey hairs

Teach him the ways of IPC underling herding and maybe some better soft social skills and he might.

Genuinely yes, that would be the effect of the council at their best. Gunpoint demanding Ratio to go take naps, do silly stupid things, socialize, not be productive for a bit. Despite being decent at self care post-work, Ratio gives me the vibes of a recovering workaholic who’s first instinct post-too much coffee palpitations is still that is must be heart issues instead of too much coffee.

Do they have a coffee machine here. He will make finding a supply of that beverage a task somehow if not.

They are also long, dragging, and remind Ratio of Aventurine every time he sees them. Selfish man, do you want to monopolize his thoughts more?

How would you like some physical changes too? Get inflicted with additional eye color rings when wirelessly circus sitting the Ratiolings. Not so wonderful then hm?

[athinkingreed]

… Also I just realized that the Ratiolings are functionally the cat cakes but 100x worse. Ratio loosing his ability to criticize Ruan Mei because he too ignored his creations for a month.

Who probably do indeed chill out and take naps once in a while once their needs are being met. Dang, with you mentioning that, now I’m thinking how with 4 brains in one body, technically 3 could sleep and leave 1 to pilot it with no sleep deprivation side effects.

Guess we get to add sleepwalking to the concerning symptoms list. Though the Ratiolings would not get far with him in bipedal form. Three animals fighting over the nervous system controller and crashing him into the door and waking him up before getting too far.

... Luckily they have ice.

They do have coffee, but it's shitty instant coffee :c

Also you mentioning Ruan Mei makes me realize what a true disaster she would be in Somnia lol.

[athinkingreed]

Glad to know the 20 stubbed talons he’ll get will get the most necessary ice bath ever.

Genuinely sleepwalking is pretty loud and terrifying for those outside it. Especially since the person sleepwalking didn’t remember it even if they are talking and can get aggressive if you say the wrong thing.

Best you can do in that situation is try and make sure that the person doesn’t get hurt, but that requires staying up yourself.

Ratio would probably check and see it’s a side effect of the anti psychotic he’s taking at first and try and change the medication, only to be worried when it doesn’t stop.

I see Ratio as the kind of guy whose coffee orders poor cafe owners need the entire cup to write down. He is going to be so pissy about there only being instant.

At least he can make a crappy iced coffee- wait I just remembered.

Caffeine is poisonous even in small quantities to cats. Keep him away from the machine in the mornings before he gets used to his new body so he doesn’t accidentally poison himself.

Yeah Ruan Mei would absolutely result in some sort of player plot event due to doing something. Legit might make her way to aeonhood here. Just make her a swarmling and call her Tazzyronth 2 Elecric Boogaloo.

Also the mods approved the Ratiolings. Congratulations, it's incoming trauma!

God one of the Ratiolings would be stupid enough to try and drink coffee anyway because some animals just think they are invincible or have nothing going on.

Ratio reconnects himself hours later and finds their stomach having to be pumped because someone looked away for 5 seconds.

I Just remembered Rond

[athinkingreed]

Also us talking has reminded me of Rond. Given how Rond is implied by Ratio’s lore story 1 to be afflicted by some sort of mental malady preventing him from coherent thoughts, the parallels Ratio will be able to draw to what happened to Rond will likely deeply scare him.

If the two talk about that and Aventurine presses the right conversational buttons, he probably could get some admittance to what Ratio thinks is going on before things blow up. Might even be able to kick off the rebellion earlier than intended.
