Chat Thread 19: In the Beginning Was the Chat

making friends isn't difficult. Maintaining them is the hard part :V

It is for me.

Maintaining is also hard, but for a different reason. I'm actually pretty active in that regard, but then the other party tends to be pretty lazy about it. So then I feel like I'm doing all the work, and then I tend to get miffed and walk away from it.

well Americans do have a differant culture :V

Latin countries culture is usually friendly

Not America so much, particularly the northeast where I live. It's considered the most unfriendly region of the country.

My mom is from Venezuela, as I've mentioned before, so she notes those cultural differences like friendliness quite a lot.

here in Portugal we have Cafes. Which are basicaly family friendly pubs that usually people tend to hang out at night to discuss how the week as went(normaly at friday night)

That's cool. :0

I'm still with friends that I met in Nursery :V

Well, for that matter, I am "friends" with people I grew up with too. But we're not that intimate. I don't really have any friends that I'd share my deepest thoughts and fears and secrets with.

In fact, I probably tell you guys more than I tell them.

is that soo :0

One day I'll go to america and keep you company......at least until I die to a shooting

Indeed.

You don't want to be a Payne, do you? Stalking me across continents.

Don't say that. You're not allowed to die till I say so.

isn't payne also american?

Yes. He went to Germany to see Noin.

Also, SUPERNATURAL SEASON 11 IS STARTING IN 15 MIN!

really? :0

Yep. Really good so far.

So yeah... I basically fangasmed when they mentioned Lucifer's Cage after five seasons. My dream may be coming true.

Age of Gods civilization is about cycles while modern civilization is about consumption. The Age of Gods resided with Truth while the modern age is about comprehending truth. "It goes without saying which civilization will progress."

While reaching Root is the entire raison d'etre for modern magi, magi from Medea's era didn't care about reaching the Root at all because they were already really close to Truth. Also mana comes from the Root. They didn't have the need to reach it because they already felt the source of mana and Truth nearby.

Takeuchi asks, "so you're saying Medea can reach the Root?" and Nasu says "no man I'm saying that it's not even a goal that registers in her mind. Also ability-wise she's True Magician tier."



the giant humanoid thing that came out of the Grail was originally gonna be a Illya-like figure in the design sketches. Actually, a Justeaze-like figure (whom Illya and Iri were based on). It's made from mashed up homunculi. The idea is like a pedestal in the image of a goddess, that holds a water vessel.

Buuuut it just so happened that the sample it was grown from this time was Wakame, so...

Takeuchi: so, so if Rin had been used instead, there's a chance that Illya and Rin would have fused into into the explosive birth of GORGEOUS☆ILLYRIN !?

Nasu: (Is this guy a genius!?)



Nasu: Saber's sheath is no longer in EMIYA, because during his wandering lifestyle it "lost its meaning" and returned to the earth. It's back in the inner ocean of the planet.

Takeuchi: ohh... so it only changed his magic circuits

Nasu: He was protected by miracles only up until his teens.

Takeuchi: I guess no matter who you are, while you're a teen you've still got a golden scabbard in your heart.

Nasu: Hey, I've still got mine. It's a glimmering point of gold in the darkness



re: Rin's magic circuits lighting up in the anime

Nasu: It varies by individual, but basically magic circuits will illuminate under full load. Look, my PS4 lights up with willpower when it's plugged in. Like that.

Takeuchi: I wonder if you could say that it's the controller lighting up...

I'm pretty sure the circuits lighting up is just o give visual indication for the audience. Plus, why not? It looks cooler.

cuz it makes it possible to give yourself away to muggles by lighting up like a christmas in public

If you were to use it in public. But I think most magi have the sense not to do that.

I was asking about payne going after noin

hypnotism, persuation, etc...

Oh lol. :P Yeah, he stopped in to see her on his tour of Europe. Seems things didn't go well though, at least not when he tried to give her a relationship ultimatum. 

Well, yes, but that gets more difficult the more people that are involved.

relationship ultimatum?

hmmm true. But it's not rare. Example Kiritsugu did it to convince the hotel managers that he was Kayneth

I believe he said it would be too difficult to keep talking to her if they could only be friends. 

Yeah, a couple managers is one thing. A crowd of people is another. 

So, you didnt like any of the sets in my showcase? I have Iskander and Siegfried and Karna and Vlad...

ah. I wonder if illya would reject me too


I didn't find those :0
