I guess a lot of DS9 is about taking the wonder, the magic, and bringing it back down to a human level. Demystifying it so it feels manageable.

Turning such a vague character into just a conman who gets swindled by a little old lady does fit right into that mindset.

Wait I never registered that he was El-Aurian. I thought he was some other kind of well-known alien.

Odo is so blasé about it all.

Weird choice considering the aura Guinan has.

Here he is.

Kegorb Diss.

Has the robo-potbelly again, cute. And the monocle. Looks like a grandpa. Has a really interesting left arm. And a stupid leather cap.

28% element because fuck me.

And, you'll never guess... no ephemera. We'll have another chance since I need a second Karak to fuse, I guess. -.-

1: Twin Stubbas. Of course. Since I'm not looking for them now.

2: Kuva Seer. Upgraded version of a weapon nobody has ever wanted to use.

3: Kuva Brakk. No thoughts.

4: Kuva Karak! Yayayaya that felt so normal and reasonable and good.

^____^

So. Predictions. Will this take the full 20 runs? Or will it happen right away to prove my whining earlier wrong? Or will it be average?

I predict... #16.

Gonna try for the electric lich ephemera again, next. Idk what weapon I want. I don't really like the Hek or Sobek shotguns.

OH. I wanted a Karak. I am big into rifles right now for whatever reason.

Soma, Quellor, Flux Rifle, and... Karak. Fits perfectly.

Let's fucking go.

Ableist down.

NOW SHE JUST SAID, "ARE YOU DEMENTED?"?!

DIE YOU ASSHOLE.

She's repeated the line after every encounter, btw.

I hate her.

Just 3 encounters and the piece of shit is done.

The lesson is clearly don't be ableist to petty disabled people. 🙃

In other news, still super fucking excited for Uriel and the new tower mode next month.

I can't believe it's so close. :3

Btw, just checked my codex and I've done 13 liches/sisters.

With just one ephemera showing up.

20% 😌

Felia Lus would never be ableist like this.

"Might as well be knitting socks for the Entrati [family]!"

Wow. Ableist piece of shit. They literally got infested by a horrible nightmare illness that took away their legs.

Actually fuck you.

It just sucks. She changed so much.

She used to be my favorite person. Now I don't even like her.

I really felt like I had at least one real family member, but... I guess I wasn't that same level of important.

I just hope she recovers some of what I tried to teach as her surrogate parent.

I had no power for any kind of discipline or anything. And nobody else seemed to care she was traumatizing her sister.

So I did the only thing I could think of.

She tried once, the next day, to come see me. I told her I was serious about stopping the violence.

She walked away. And... nothing.

--she wouldn't stop hitting her little sister. And she valued being abusive more than having a relationship with me.

My family is so corrosive.
