I’ve been looking forward to this
10525022
Me too
same day we get a new dbd chapter announced. nice timing
Here we go again
So we got the legion oni and Blighty boy
Dibs on being the oc for the gunslinger lol
Wait wait wait.... the legion is a group of 4 or of but you only showed 3...
Oh
Oh no....
Placing my bet my now: legion is the CmC
I came here when DBS was already finished, I haven't followed the side stories when they get released but this one, I WILL follow this one from the start to the finish.
Now thanks to the latest of your side stories we can safely guess (though that's more like a fact in my look) that the Narc is Rainbow the Blight, don't sure about the Ogre, brutal killing style is a rather vague description, my guesses are Oni, Cannibal, Hillbilly (if he's still alive after DBS I don't remember what happened to him) and Executioner (haven't actually seen his gameplay but thanks to his BFS he's on my list)
10525533
I'm with you on this one bro *slam 100 bits on the table*
Also I see you used Legion's momento mori here, it's one of my most favourite and there's this one thing
I understand that babushka here is some sort of clothes but thanks to the fact that I'm russian it makes me cringe, cause my brain keeps picturing Adagio wearing someone's grandmother
10525624
Adagio's descriptions are a reference to a standard meta Huntress build in Dead by Daylight called 'Machine Gun Huntress' that uses:
https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/Flower_Babushka and https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/Infantry_Belt
to just absolutely spam hatchets at people. As for the Legion? Well, I mean... maybe.
oh how I have been waiting for this. Let the curtain rise and the show begin!
Oh fuck, this story hasn't even started back in the empathy and already we got dead bodies everywhere.... so The Legion is running around killing people huh? I am very interested and curious to see who they are.
Great job starting out strong with this long-awaited sequel, especially how quickly you ended it with a little bit of a cliffhanger. I was very surprised that Sunset and Adagio have the ability to use their powers since Escaping The Entity. Makes me wonder. What they've been doing with those powers before this all these murders.
10525533
Also hey Firefly, I'll take a piece of that bet.
10525655
Again my problem here is that you called this handkerchief babushka, and my russian brain keeps trying to picture Adagio wearing someone's grandmother scalp (just in case you didn't get it babushka is a russian translation for grandmother).
10525879
That’s fair. Like I said, I’m just directly referencing the game. If there’s a better term I’d be happy to use it.
Everyone else speculates on what the killers are going to be or who. I'm just staring at the Jojo reference.
Off to a good start, it looks like! Well, at least for the readers. :D
10526243
There's a JoJo reference and I haven't noticed it?!!! Where is it, tell me right now!!!
10526219
Simply call it a handkerchief or a flower patterned handkerchief cause it's name doesn't reflect what this item is, like at all, though I have an idea about why devs called it this way, if you wanna know I can tell.
10526396
Please do, like I said, I only used the term as a kind of reference to that specific mechanical build in the game that Huntress players might recognise. I like hiding little references in my stories.
10525624
It's a term in North American English for type of headscarf frequently worn by babushkas. Not just Russian grandmothers, mind you. The headscarves worn by babcias are also known as babushkas, though it's impossible to know how much of that comes down to prioritizing Russian over Polish vs. how much comes down to the number of Poles who immigrated to North America that spoke Russian.
It's like going to the store and buying an Italian. It doesn't mean that slavery has been legalized, it means that Americans give things, including a particular type of French bread sub, odd names. (That example comes to mind because I've met someone whose brain threw a divide by cheese error when they saw a sign advertising Italians for sale.)
Anyway, in America's limited defense, it's not just Americans who do this. That includes when specifically discussing people as clothing. At some point in the history of the world someone got thrown for a loop when someone else said or wrote that they wore aging buffoons on their legs. Especially since it's a specific aging buffoon, so there should only have been one of him to wear regardless. None the less, "pantaloons"/"pants" came to be accepted as the name of an article of clothing. (How it transformed in much of the world from meaning trousers to meaning something that tends to be smaller is a longer story that has nothing to do with wearing people.)
10526598
Seems like it's limited to the America cause it's the first time I hear about, anyway thanks for a little lesson here.
10526406
Well thanks to Chris, now I know that this is actually a term for using a handkerchief as a headwear so I guess feel free to leave it this way as I said before it was just my russian complaint about things, I don't think there's enough of us on this site for it to become a problem.
10527111
Well, either way, I changed the wording to Babushka scarf in the story itself, so it's a little clearer. Every one of my readers matters and you had a genuine point.
10527165
and this is why we love you!
10525655
Ooooo machine gun huntress is nasty but me I’m worse I’m the triple insta down huntress or the haha no dead hard lithe for 2 mins huntress
10525533
That both makes sense and at the same time is terrifying they survived a trial and escaped as kid’s only to turn into a killer.
10525725
Who’s to say the powers was always there it could be they manifested because of the fog and was dormant because of there magic it’s the same reason the entity couldn’t fully turn them
10525624
The ogre is the oni in his backstory he was called the ogre by people that feared him and a oni is a Japanese ogre demon
10526391
How could you miss the Orge Street reference?!
10529398
First, there's no Ogre street reference, the name of the 3-d killer (who is supposedly Oni) have nothing to do with it.
Second, until now I honestly thought that Ogre street is real and Araki just used it.
10527097
Yeah, I doubt it's used with that meaning outside of the US and Canada, and I honestly couldn't tell you how much it's used here. I think I saw a nationally televised thing that used that meaning of the word once in my life, but I could be wrong and even I'm not, one time on on basic cable a decade or two ago isn't exactly something that leads to wide adoption of a word.
More generally, regional English has a tendency to remain in-region, so newer words, especially ones from the last hundred years or so, are often out-group incomprehensible, with the exceptions being things that are frequently be used in various different international settings.
At first I thought there wouldn't be enough killers after the last story. But then I remembered the previous one only got up to like 10 killers, and with the Twins dropping in a couple weeks there'll be 22 killers total.
10537691
I have so many Killers queue'd up, mate, it's insane.
nice work.
nice work.
Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
It was great to see Tempest again and to see that she still switches from English to Spanish when talking, especially to Sunset. Also, it’s very interesting that the Legion is still portrayed by three instead of four people, could it be the CMC or is the fourth one just hiding & waiting for the right time to strike?
Great is the weapon that cuts on it's own.
I am curious to see how much Red heart knows about the situation
"or even the Shanker… Shankers, actually, I suppose"
Is this just a reference to Legion, or am I missing something? I'm not sure what else it would be, but I'm also not sure why that different name would be used here, or why they are folded in with the serial killers, still (though that, possibly, because they're Killers?).
I continue to enjoy this story. :)
10547975
Sorry, the more I edit the more occasional bits and pieces of old drafts sometimes slip through the cracks. Yeah, it's Legion. I fixed it.
I don'tkke that you just said that at the bottom.
It fills me with dread.
XD
10548289
good
10548225
Ah, thanks!
And aye, looks like the known Killers are indeed being separated out from the serial killers who are merely suspected Killers. Understandable.
Though I do wonder what our protagonists' reaction will be when/if they find out that, as I suspect, they're in a three front conflict, at least. Because the revelation in this chapter that the Entity was merely wounded, not killed, and is guessed to be still active in the area has made me basically certain that Rainbow is indeed one of its, while the CMC look to be working for I've-been-guessing-and-still-am-Twilight Sparkle (no idea at the moment who or what the Ogre of the East might be). And... well, to begin with, with Sunset hiding, I'm not sure how long it'll be before Rainbow finds out about her. Looking at outside knowledge, specifically your preference for eventual happy endings, I'd guess that Rainbow will eventually come around. But I'm not quite certain, still, I'd be much less confident in that without outside knowledge, and there's the question of how much happens in the meantime. Because I think when Rainbow, who seemed to have embraced the Entity (and has been left in this world, without, apparently, any special requirements to hook victims or the like; that seems like it might be significant and marking her as intended for a special purpose) finds out Sunset escaped, is also active here... has rejected the Entity... kept hiding from all her old friends... well, given the ways in which Rainbow herself has moved on, that seems like it could be messy.
...Though, hm. It does occur to me now: are Rainbow, and any other agents of the Entity and our protagonists actually in opposition here? Would the Entity actually prefer its followers be neutral or aligned with Sunset and company? After all, the latter escaped, sure, I doubt the Entity likes that, but presumed-Sci-Twi is a much more active threat and enemy.
edit:
Though I can also imagine there ending up being a race-to-Berlin/Operation Paperclip style sequence late in the conflict, since the Entity, I assume, would not want Sunset's faction having access to whatever presumed-Sci-Twi used to hurt it. Possibly, to continue the analogy, extending diverging into the start of WWIII right there. Or that being commanded, at least; that seems like it might be the point where Rainbow is finally forced to sort out the presumed mess inside her by that point and pick a side.
...I mean, or I could be completely off in these speculations. But I'm quite interested to see where the plot goes either way. :D
10549423
From that block of speculation, I see you’ve cottoned in to the fact that I’m not futzing around with that Mystery tag.
I kinda dig how the new breed of killers - perhaps owing to the fact that the newbie controlling entity (no pun intended) ain't some primordial elder god - don't have the exotic powers of the old killers created by the capital E Entity.
...then I remembered the first batch of killers included such unknowable powers like "Has a chainsaw" or "Wears a Shatner mask." while DBD's later released killers includes a onryo or a tulpa.
Ah well. Still running with the theory that the new killers are all/most former survivors still tainted by the Entity's touch despite being rescued.
10549704
Oh, hah, I hadn't actually noticed that tag, that I recall! :D
But, yes, not too surprised it's there. :)
10550549
Ah yes, the dark and wicked mysticism of:
Man with bear traps
Friend with chainsaw
Ma'am with the hatchets
In fairness, there's also: Lad who turns invisible when the doorbell rings and Missus Screams-In-Flight
Oooh is that Darkest Dungeon I spy?
10558124
It's one of my favorite games, and I like leaving little references to my favorite pieces of media.
So, are we about to learn the extent of Midnight's influence, perhaps?
