+1 goth space witch

[noch]

HELLO THERE i'm britt, some new blood, here with merrin from star wars jedi: fallen order, because this game absolutely needed another star war. for the initiated, she's coming from the end of the game, after saving cal from certain death at the bottom of an ocean. NOT THAT HE REMEMBERS, THE UNGRATEFUL LITTLE PUNK.

and for the uninitiated, she's a nightsister, which is essentially the star war version of a witch, so unlike those various jedi running around she uses magick (with a k) instead of the force. she's the only survivor of her people, so while she might come off a little intimidating and standoffish, it's just because she's Traumatized and Has No Friends or Social Skills, so she doesn't know how to act, i'm sorry. she's really pretty nice and earnest deep down. you just gotta dig around a bit.

also, i apologize in advance for her sense of humor, because she WILL threaten to sacrifice your extremities for her magick and you WILL NOT know if she's joking or not. it means she likes you. again, no social skills.

anyway i'm really excited to be here and look forward to playing with you all!! i'm Very Sad i missed coruscant so narrowly, omg, but i'm here now! feel free to add me on plurk at matriarchy or discord at britt#6172.

HE'D BE SORRY IF HE KNEW

HI AND WELCOME!! I'm glad you caved decided to join us!!! Slightly backwards since you already know who I play- aside from Cayde-6 and Raphael, but a formal hello and welcome! I'm Aya. I've enjoyed our thread- I don't mind keeping it if you want to.

...also I don't know why I haven't added you on plurk yet. Clearly I am on top of things.

[noch]

NOT SORRY ENOUGH...

hello and thanks for the welcome!! i'm all for keeping our thread too, since it made me very happy.

[out_of_order]

;_;

Yaaaaay now to see if Jon will let us adopt a mothkitton

[noch]

oh no that would be SO CUTE. little voroka...

[foundlingfather]

Hey Britt! Welcome to the game!

I'm Spectre, and I play this disaster of a space dad, Din Djarin. :)

Also, we have a game discord server, if you wanna join. https://discord.gg/hCRkxvn3

[noch]

hi spectre, nice to meet you!! i love din, space dad hot mess, and i can't wait to confuse him with more weird space magic.

and thanks for the discord plug, i'm definitely hopping in

[foundlingfather]

Nice to meet you too. And oh man, please confuse him. xD He's getting used to the Force, and now he's going to be confused by magick

[noch]

technically!! magick is also the force, except like the Bad Force, but let's not get into that with poor din. he'd probably keep merrin away from his son forever lmao

Hello hello!

I don't know anything about Star Wars and am very surprised about the witch situation, but I am already intrigued.

I am Bear, this is Iron Man, he is always available for morally dubious adventures or building a Plot Device. Merrin seems like the kind of lady he usually hangs out with, but he will be kind of an asshole about the magic thing. If there is a possibility of combining forces and goofing on Cal, he is in.

[noch]

hi bear!! i'm pretty sure the sw writers were like, we want classic spooky witches — just make them SPACE. and bam, that's how the nightsisters were born.

but yes, she's all about dunking on cal and will absolutely seek allies in this endeavor. he's like 1 out of 3 whole friends she has right now, though, so it'll be with affection. i'm actually not sure how she'll react to someone being a jerk about her magick, but not too many things get under her skin so i'm sure it'll be fiiine(?).

[kyley_b]

Hey, some people think threatening bodily harm is totally normal social behaviour.

Hi, I'm Emma, I play a dumb human named Kyle. Welcome!

[noch]

threats are how we show affection in this household, you know?

hi emma :) it's nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome!!

[beholding_archivist]

And now that I've crawled out of bed a proper welcome from me as well!

Hello, welcome to our little game! I'm Zet, I play Jon here, protagonist of the Magnus Archives horror podcast who munches on your trauma and will be canon-updated to the finale of the series towards the end of April/beginning of May. From what I have seen on the TDM she already encountered the flock of mothkittens he unknowingly brought to the city by getting adopted by their mother. Those are around still and will happily try stealing from her again <3

I have yet to finish playing Fallen Order myself, I'll admit that along with that I haven't even encountered Merrin within the game yet. Or I have but she has been nasty to me and my dreadful memory already forgot about that. I'm looking forward to see her ingame \o/

[noch]

hi zet!! thanks for the welcome! she and cal already named one of the kittens, and it's absolutely a sweet and regal name, not at all uncomplimentary.

also, that's the problem with only showing up for the last 1/3 of the game!! she doesn't actually appear and give cal a hard time until later, so you're in for a fun little surprise ❤️

[hadthehighground]

Well I guess now I know how the game ends lol! Welcome!

Im Darkfeather I play this Jedi here and it should be quite interesting for them to meet. XD

[noch]

hi darkfeather, nice to meet you! and trust me, that's not even the half of what goes down in the end!! but seriously, if you'd like for me to try to avoid spoilers i'm really happy to. some things might be unavoidable since merrin only shows up in like the last third of the game, but i'll do my best.

and yes, it should be veryyyy interesting lmao i love obi-wan with all my heart, so i'm pumped for whatever goes down.

[hadthehighground]

As much as I would like to play the game I doubt I will get around to it any time soon so don’t worry about it too much XD

And I’m looking forward to our future CR!

[noch]

lmao what's it like to NOT have a huge backlog of games/movies/shows/books etc etc one has been meaning to get to forever? can't be me.

also, i hope you don't mind me adding you on plurk!

[demjiin]

Hi, hello. I'm Angel and this is Kaz Brekker from the grisha-verse books. I'm kind of limited on when I can type right now, but I really do want to thread? So please don't ever think it's you if I take forever to tag.

[noch]

hi angel, nice to meet you! i'm actually a huge fan of the grishaverse (just finished rule of wolves earlier this week, as a matter of fact) so i know and love kaz very much!! i look forward to playing with you, and definitely don't worry about slowness :)

[demjiin]

\o/!!!

Yeah, I just finished Rule of Wolves too and I'm pumped for the Netflix show later this month. But since you're not canon-blind I don't need to warn you that Kaz is a dick XD;

[ezra_of_lothal]

Hello, I'm Lis and I play Ezra who has been cautiously poking Merrin on the TDM. He will chill out (probably).

I have not played Fallen Order, but am not fussed by spoilers. In fact, I have a compilation of story stuff from the game queued up to watch, I just haven't....done it yet.

[noch]

hi lis!! i love ezra and rebels so i'm really excited to play more with you! maybe when merrin also chills out a bit she can show him that not all dathomirians are that bad... really......... uh, i promise.

and i hope you enjoy it!! obviously, the game is close to my heart so i'm biased but it's a really great little game and story :c at least by watching it you don't have to get lost on zeffo for hours like i did.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Yay, a fellow rebels fan!

Merrin hasn't tried to kill him or get anything out of him yet, so he generally wiling to give benefit of the doubt.

[heypartner]

Hello! I'm Moose, I play Cobb Vanth from Mandalorian and Ikora Rey from Destiny!

As you've already heard on Discord Cobb has no understanding of space magic but if she's willing to help with stuff around rebuilding the town he will tolerate any sort of weirdness.

Ikora is a Warlock so she's all about space magic and studying the mysteries of the universe. She also has literal Darkness chanting in her head all the time so I feel like they might have things to talk about.

[noch]

hi moose, nice to meet you!!

she'll definitely help out with things, though it might involve spooky space magic so it might be a mixed bag for cobb lmao

and i don't know anything about destiny, i'm sorry, but that sounds like they would absolutely have stuff to talk about! technically nightsister magick is drawn from the dark side of the force, so the jedi are super freaked out by it but merrin just thinks it's completely normal.

[heypartner]

He has seen Obi-Wan move stuff with his mind so, you know, if it helps fix up a house or whatever, fine. Cobb will live with it.

Don't worry, most people don't know anything about Destiny lol I can always answer questions if you have them. Ikora's powers come from the Light which can be seen like the good side of the Force. She's got Darkness in her, it's just a thing for Warlocks, and one of her close friends was 'corrupted' by dark magic so she'll probably be comfortable with what a Nightsister can do.

[thesepreciousthings]

Hi Britt, welcome to the game! I'm Ang, and I play Clarice here and Aeon (hooliganstatus ... so glad you've joined us!

I am super excited for this. Even if I haven't played JFO, I know the Nightsisters from Rebels and they are my absolute jam. Aeon has social skills, she just doesn't use the tact part of the toolkit, so this will be fun. :D

[noch]

hi ang!! nice to meet you, and thanks for the welcome!!

i love the nightsisters too (obviously)! i think they get a bad rap in the war of stars but they're just like spooky bog witches who mind their own business until you fork with one of them. then they COME FOR YOU lmao

merrin doesn't have much tact either so i'm sure this is going to go great!!

[thesepreciousthings]

All the best witches are like that IMO. I look forward to all our threads! :)

[on_repeat]

SO I FORGOT TO ACTUALLY GO HERE Hiiii! I saw you in the discord and I pop up every now and then there, but I'm MK and I only have this one clone for the time being.

Yay Merrin! She and the rest of the kids need hugs. Also, a belated welcome to the game!

[noch]

hi MK and thanks for the welcome!! all of the clones are very close to my heart so i'm really happy to see one around!

i feel like these two would actually be able to bond over their brothers/sisters, believe it or not. like merrin isn't a clone, obviously, but the nightsister sisterhood is REAL. she misses her sisters :(

[on_repeat]

\o/ Oh my goodness, they would, wouldn't they? Siblings are Important and he can commiserate now that he's not surrounded by other clones :(

Actually it's probably a good thing he has no direct interaction with Asajj Ventress or knows anything about Nightsisters so he'll be going into this blind. :Db

[noch]

siblings are very important!!! her bond with her sisters is so strong she can raise them from the dead even!!! but he doesn't need to know that ahem

man, ventress really went out there and tanked the nightsisters' good name lmao (i'm kidding, i love ventress and i don't think they ever had a good name.) but yes, the less echo knows, the better. it'll be good for him.

[on_repeat]

YES– wait what

Hahaha XD (I love Ventress too, she's fun) He can live with it! Merrin gets additional points since she's Cal's friend :>
