wheremst do they shit? Do snakes shit out the very end of their tails?


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If so, do they as well?  You mentioned the snake parts are all/mostly biologically correct, or something to that effect anyway.


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
To be fair


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Nothing is set in stone yet


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] mothman#1742
snakes irl have a cloaca, which is the pussy, the egghole, and the poophole


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And all of it is up for debate


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] mothman#1742
lamias do not have that


[01-Oct-20 10:41 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
We will not be adding cloaca because they are gross


[01-Oct-20 10:42 AM] Wargunlock#0868
Lamias do not poop


[01-Oct-20 10:42 AM] mothman#1742
on lamias the human genitals are where they would be normally, i assume the poophole is either behind them on their butt, or lower down on their tail


[01-Oct-20 10:42 AM] mothman#1742
either way works


[01-Oct-20 10:42 AM] Wargunlock#0868
If we can remove disgusting femoid stuff from our fantasy women in this setting we should do so


[01-Oct-20 10:42 AM] Wargunlock#0868
Command decision, they just dont poop.


[01-Oct-20 10:43 AM] mothman#1742
just pull a harry potter and have then magic the poop away after shitting in the hallway


[01-Oct-20 10:43 AM] Wargunlock#0868
Revised Command decision the poop shoot is further down the tail

Idunno, discounting communism, what is Vietnamese culture? They've got a rich history, unironically, of setting up punji spike pits against invaders.


[01-Oct-20 10:55 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[01-Oct-20 11:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 11:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They could live in shallow tunnels and caves


[01-Oct-20 11:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also the whole Vietnamese tunnel aesthetic


[01-Oct-20 11:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where you go through the water trap to get into the real home


[01-Oct-20 11:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe, though while being warm blooded, they do prefer to sun a lot, right? They prolly take several things into consideration when picking a spot to tunnel, not too much foliage but not too little, not too much moisture in the soil but not too little, ground that's not too hard but also not too soft, and ||if there are any nearby big, flat rocks in direct sunlight most of the year.||


[01-Oct-20 11:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[01-Oct-20 11:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Big flat rocks


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Big flat rocks right outside their tunnel exit. Imagine having to walk to your garage every time you turn the heater on.


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe the caves they prefer are geothermally warmed?


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
THey don't wanna walk a million miles


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The higher up you are in lamia society the better large flat rocks you get?


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe, though VC tunnels worked because the grund was very clay-y, and geothermal shit isn't normally associated with heavy clay areas.


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ahh, true


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[01-Oct-20 11:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Flat area right outside the entrance


[01-Oct-20 11:05 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The more money they pay for them, maybe. Depends how tribalistic but one common thing is always big flat-ish sunning rocks, no matter the societal system.


[01-Oct-20 11:05 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Granite would be the best for sunning on


[01-Oct-20 11:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The snake part of their body is probably sorta-kinda tough, at least from walking aroud - or slithering around all the time. THe human part though, that section would certainly prefer the rock to be smooth, contoured if possible, and without much abrasive action.


[01-Oct-20 11:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They'd also probably enjoy beaches quite a lot, but not generally prefer living near them for several reasons.

Sand heats up nicely


[01-Oct-20 11:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The rock would have to be smooth


[01-Oct-20 11:11 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Unless the robe they wore was thick enough


[01-Oct-20 11:11 AM] plan (heya hooya gang)#3467
Black rocks are nice


[01-Oct-20 11:11 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then it wouldn’t bother them too much


[01-Oct-20 11:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Polished granite maybe?


[01-Oct-20 11:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Nice and smooth


[01-Oct-20 11:18 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>wearing robes while sunning



[01-Oct-20 11:19 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ought'a be holes ground into the rocks for the Lamia's value orbs


[01-Oct-20 11:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, very no-step-on-snake. Probably very against big government


[01-Oct-20 11:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
as opposed to Dwarves who, for example, may not give a shit as long as their specific clan is doing alright.


[01-Oct-20 11:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe not ones for rules.


[01-Oct-20 11:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a very individual based society?


[01-Oct-20 11:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More family oriented?


[01-Oct-20 11:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Very much a kill-the-invading-niggers thing, to fit with Vietnam.


[01-Oct-20 11:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Go with snake GF to visit her family in Fantasy Vietnam
>Tons and tons and tons of mopeds with wide whicker baskets for seats


[01-Oct-20 11:24 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Visit her family home, it's literally a fucking hole in the ground
>Get lost for 3 hours in the tunnels while looking for the shitter


[01-Oct-20 11:24 AM] TheSteelLegionnaire#8106
Heh


[01-Oct-20 11:25 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Imagine your snake GF has a normal nice American voice and cadence but she also speaks Snake-Vietnamese which has all that annoying gook tonal shit in it.


[01-Oct-20 11:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Can we assume that typical natural lamia habitat is in more jungle bound areas?


[01-Oct-20 11:27 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Of course there also could be desert lamias


[01-Oct-20 11:27 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Jungle shit, for sure. Desert lamias like >rattlers


[01-Oct-20 11:28 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How would the jungle snake culture differ from the desert snake culture


[01-Oct-20 11:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, Garden Snake Lamia are probably looked at as weak milquetoast faggots. No good bite, no good venom, no good crushing abilities like boas or w/e.


[01-Oct-20 11:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Garden snake lamias would be much smaller than regular lamia


[01-Oct-20 11:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[01-Oct-20 11:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also I feel like Lamia in general would be big on naps after large meals. Culturally and biologically.

itstime 

[01-Oct-20 11:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Desert lamia would have a similar culture to their regular cousins


[01-Oct-20 11:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Still would like caves


[01-Oct-20 11:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And sunning rocks


[01-Oct-20 11:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But also bodies of water to stay cool


[01-Oct-20 11:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And nice shady spots to nap


[01-Oct-20 11:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ways to stay out of the sun


[01-Oct-20 11:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They would like tunnels and caves to stay in so they can be out of the days heat


[01-Oct-20 11:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe more active at dawn and dusk


[01-Oct-20 11:32 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sleep or lounge during the day like most desert creatures do


[01-Oct-20 11:32 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Also I feel like Lamia in general would be big on naps after large meals. Culturally and biologically.
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit  oh hell yes


[01-Oct-20 11:32 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe instead of eating several meals through the day, they only eat one huge meal a day?

[01-Oct-20 11:35 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They take a nap in the middle of the day, right after their big central meal.

So which is it, they're very family oriented, or very individualistic? Or, both?


[01-Oct-20 11:41 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Individual families maybe


[01-Oct-20 11:41 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or groups


[01-Oct-20 11:41 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So once or twice a year your snake wife's family will come over and suddenly it's like you're in a fucking Vietnamese market complete with strange food smells and constant tonal-language yelling


[01-Oct-20 11:42 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I imagine they don’t get along too well with their neighbors


[01-Oct-20 11:43 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Don’t really make many friends with them


[01-Oct-20 11:43 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not that they hate them, more so “you stay out of my way, I’ll stay out of yours”


[01-Oct-20 11:43 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But they would be very close knit to their families


[01-Oct-20 11:45 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hm. How would that neighbor interaction quirk translate to every day life? How do they approach social situations?


[01-Oct-20 11:46 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Uhhh


[01-Oct-20 11:47 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Good question on the second one though


[01-Oct-20 11:47 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Approaching a lamia would be difficult


[01-Oct-20 11:47 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
As they wouldn’t be used to the social interaction


[01-Oct-20 11:47 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They probably could make small conversation


[01-Oct-20 11:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Same way with neighbors


[01-Oct-20 11:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But overall it would be difficult


[01-Oct-20 11:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I imagine once a lamia has made friends with someone, they are considered family


[01-Oct-20 11:48 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Although I do wonder still how they would court in their own communities


[01-Oct-20 11:52 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If they really don’t talk much with their neighbors


[01-Oct-20 11:52 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Unless it’s a whole case where they have close family friends


[01-Oct-20 11:54 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Probably certain families, clans more or less but that's not the best word i this case, are friends with others.


[01-Oct-20 11:54 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Prolly a fair bit of arranged marriage or at least official "Hey, you bunch of green snakes, go into a big room with that bunch of slightly greener snakes and talk a bunch and eventually make me grandchildren"


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
type deals.


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So dances might be a big deal. Culturally-mandated social events. Arranged marriages might be traditional.


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe there is a matchmaker snek?


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Festivals and stuff are good


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
One father of several snakes might talk with another father of several snakes and make active attempts to get two specific snakes to hang out a bunch.


[01-Oct-20 11:55 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[01-Oct-20 11:56 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More arranged marriages and stuff


[01-Oct-20 11:56 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s more up to the parents to decide who marries who


[01-Oct-20 11:56 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not India-tier where it's actually forced, at least not in modern Lamia shit


[01-Oct-20 11:56 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah


[01-Oct-20 11:56 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More like


[01-Oct-20 11:56 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

in addition to "Okay, you two go fish on the bank, don't come home until it's either dark or you've caught 4 fish." and that happening until the two snakes either fuck or the fathers' get tired of telling them to do it.

I feel like most traditional lamia match making would be very very strategic rather than tactical or directly forceful. Two fathers sitting at a table discussing things. "Alright, we'll just have them fish for a few more weeks, something is bound to happen." "Yes, yes... though, my girl's favorite food is oranges, how about you have your boy bring an orange on this next fishing trip? That might start something"

@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit what am I missing here?


[01-Oct-20 12:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Average orb size, for starters.


[01-Oct-20 12:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Festivals and dances are big things but there's a big focus on, specifically, pairing off the young snakes who aren't already paired.


[01-Oct-20 12:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Probably a courtship period after they get paired off at these dances that lasts a while. Long private walks between the two, tasks given to them to do on some far off corner of the snakes' land.


[01-Oct-20 12:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The marriages *are* arranged in many senses but they're not forced.


[01-Oct-20 12:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There's every chance in the world that if both parents are displeased by the pairing, they won't support the pairing financially. So no parent-sponsored wedding festivities.


[01-Oct-20 12:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Caves and tunnels are expensive, so in places without such options, or where the ground makes it difficult, and especially in the human world they settle for what they have.


[01-Oct-20 12:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They'd be inclined to replace carpeting for several practical reasons but also some subjective ones, with either hardwood or better yet, tile. Even better, granite blocks, but that shit expensive.


[01-Oct-20 12:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Paving the inside of your snake-tunnel was probably quite common, with poor niggas using wood, and rich niggas using properly fitted stone, somewhat like tiling.


[01-Oct-20 12:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>marble flooring in a house :happyharpy:


[01-Oct-20 12:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
To be clear - if both fathers are displeased by a pairing that just happens to happen, they might try to dissuade the two by taking some measures to keep the two too busy to see eachother, to offer other pairing options, and as a second-to-last resort, outright asking them not to make that pairing.


[01-Oct-20 12:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Last resort being cut of financial and practical-family-clan assistance for non-essential things.


[01-Oct-20 12:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also as an aside, @instant ramen Why don't you do Vietnam ROK cosplay. You've already got the AR clone for it.


[01-Oct-20 12:19 PM] instant ramen#8608

Probably sex before marriage isn't the issue, instead sex before a certain stage in snake courtship. Maybe some event where the patriarch snake welcomes the other snake into their home in a certain way.

[01-Oct-20 12:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe there's two dinner tables. The table for family only, and the table that one eats with visitors at or just sticks visitors by themselves. And you can only fuck after the Patriarch or Matriarch invites the outsider courting snake to the main table.


[01-Oct-20 12:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 12:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe the entire celebration is a lot of eating, dancing, and sleeping, over and over again, and perhaps not in that order.

[01-Oct-20 12:22 PM] instant ramen#8608

[01-Oct-20 12:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Harvest festivals are based.


[01-Oct-20 12:22 PM] instant ramen#8608
next thing u're going to say is that they have paganistic thanksgiving/ancestor worship


[01-Oct-20 12:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They could eat all the surplus


[01-Oct-20 12:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Wait


[01-Oct-20 12:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
y-yeah kinda


[01-Oct-20 12:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ever had leftovers for dinner?


[01-Oct-20 12:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And it’s pretty much whatever in the fridge


[01-Oct-20 12:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That could be the festival


[01-Oct-20 12:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where after winter or something


[01-Oct-20 12:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They eat all the stored surplus that wouldn’t last another year


[01-Oct-20 12:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like a reverse harvest festival


[01-Oct-20 12:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm'. I like that.


[01-Oct-20 12:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There's the young people's festival meme, where the entire point is for pairings to arise without specifically being planned by the fathers involved.


[01-Oct-20 12:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe a two family dance, three family dance, something like that.


[01-Oct-20 12:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but I wonder what the older or already paired snakes do at those times. Maybe they've got their own thing, or maybe they've got a more general festival for everybody, in those cases.


[01-Oct-20 12:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a more general festival


[01-Oct-20 12:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What if for the already paired snakes it’s like Valentine’s Day?


[01-Oct-20 12:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They do the romantic lovey dovey stuff


[01-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Cute. "Oh honey, let's go to all the places we went when we were young and courting"
"Alright dear~"


[01-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
they go there, the bank of the river where their families sent them to fish all those times


[01-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and there's 12 other couples also there


[01-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
their fathers aren't very creative.


[01-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:happyharpy:


[01-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like that idea


[01-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Would it be a commonly known thing that being sent to fish together is a courting thing?


[01-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or is it always a surprise?


[01-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More chalked up to coincidence


[01-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In some regions, certainly. Maybe not common for the ones being courted to understand


[01-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
kind of like how uh


[01-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
even as a teen there are still some jokes or references you only get when you become an adult


[01-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So even if it was a dry year or a bad time to fish or if one of the fathers unironically *did* need the squirrels cleared out of their land so he sent them on that task, all the adult snakes would know.


[01-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Just like how everybody knows about the driving out to look-out point to make out thing, even if they've never done that and never knew anyone who did anything similar.

Snakes probably could tank some raw food much better than humans can, but they still much much prefer normal cooked food


[01-Oct-20 12:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
to the point where in the modern day you can't really find a snake that's eaten raw food beyond doing it for the meme

[01-Oct-20 12:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But I bet they do have this instinctual lizard-brain appeal when they see an Item their brain identifies as food, that is also moving or squirming on it's own.


[01-Oct-20 12:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So octopus that's still moving, but also cooked, which I thiiiiink is a thing, is probably something they'd like.

also the dancing thing makes sense because snakes irl actually do dance when mating


[01-Oct-20 12:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup. Dancing is important for Lamias.


[01-Oct-20 12:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Dance on holy days or festivals, dance on birthdays, dance throughout courtship, dance also being the very very start of courtship.


[01-Oct-20 12:42 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s Aspic


[01-Oct-20 12:42 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Savory gelatin meal


[01-Oct-20 12:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 12:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s made with meat


[01-Oct-20 12:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And stock


[01-Oct-20 12:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
how is this food


[01-Oct-20 12:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also in that same sense, Lamia probably prefer things hot. Cold food is more unappetizing to them than it is to us. Drinks are an obvious exception, as well as ice cream, and they can maybe deal with it in the case of pie


[01-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But like, cold chicken? Cold pizza? Struggle.


[01-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s from the 1950s/after refrigeration


[01-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Wouldn’t hot food heat them up too fast though?


[01-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Although that also goes for cold food


[01-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, maybe. They're warm blooded, otherwise the snussy would be uncomfortable.


[01-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Live food is warm, though, and if they have some lizard brain tendencies towards live food, stands to reason they'd also prefer it hot.


[01-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or at least warm.


[01-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
When I say hot I don't actually mean hot, but, y'know, warm.


[01-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ahhh


[01-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Okay, that makes sense


[01-Oct-20 12:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Lamia eating room temperature sushi


[01-Oct-20 12:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like when one says "hot food" in the culinary industry context they don't mean it literally they mean it's just served somewhere over room temp.


[01-Oct-20 12:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Lamia has to force a smile
>"AahHhh... So.. Yummy. Thank you for.. this.. stuff."


[01-Oct-20 01:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How flexible is the end section of a lamia tail anyway


[01-Oct-20 01:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And how dexterous


[01-Oct-20 01:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael


[01-Oct-20 01:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably rather dexterous


[01-Oct-20 01:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Much more so than a regular snake Tail


[01-Oct-20 01:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would it be a thing to tie two snakes tails together for some reason? Trying to think of what that would do... I guess... Lamia sack race equivalent?

[01-Oct-20 02:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[01-Oct-20 02:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Just coil up


[01-Oct-20 02:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sit by a river bank

Imagine a Lamia on the missippi laying back in her johnboat, rod tucked into her coil, head propped up by her arms, shade hat on, just idly drifting until she feels a bite on the pole.

This wouldve been better with a lamia to lay againat I'd wager


[01-Oct-20 06:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So, how does Lamia society work? They've got all these families, sure, cool, but what happens beyond that? I've imagined most of these people living on either ancestral grounds, or just large plots of property generally. Sometimes farmers and the like build their houses right next to roads, at the very edges of their farms, and much more rarely they build their houses in the center of their land.


[01-Oct-20 06:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamias, I'd think, would do the latter.


[01-Oct-20 06:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, do they farm? They've got harvest festivals so I suppose they must, right? @Battlebrothermichael


[01-Oct-20 06:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And, beyond the individual families, what's the deal with their society? They're against big government, but not all government innately. What would they have in that regard?


[01-Oct-20 06:47 PM] Coastie#3790
In my story I had them in the lake between the Panama Canal locks helping the locals with the cartels and other local problems.
I think they'll be a meritocracy lead by the elders


[01-Oct-20 06:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
ju' read the Lamia lore we concocted hours ago, above? Washu' think on that?


[01-Oct-20 07:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Coastie


[01-Oct-20 07:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit I was thinking as well that Lamias would have their houses in the center. Gives them a better sense of protection.


[01-Oct-20 07:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe not big government, but a loose local government


[01-Oct-20 07:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Almost like a locally elected sheriff of the lamia that everyone likes the best/trusts the most


[01-Oct-20 07:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More there to settle land disputes and stuff like that than instruct


[01-Oct-20 07:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What about a Lamia nation, though? Do they occasionally today, or have ever, had a King?


[01-Oct-20 07:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Perhaps also leads the festivals and whatnot


[01-Oct-20 07:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[01-Oct-20 07:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I can see there being a lamia nation


[01-Oct-20 07:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a few uncharacteristically outgoing lamias could easily get into politics


[01-Oct-20 07:12 PM] Coastie#3790
I posted that when I got off work and I just got home.
Give me a minute.


[01-Oct-20 07:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mm, but how does that work? I guess the Lamia families may consider themselves part of a Lamia nation, geographically at the least, in that theres a lot of lamias in this certain area


[01-Oct-20 07:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But what would they want with Government, unironically, and what purpose would it serve?


[01-Oct-20 07:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I would assume htey would want something. Roads, maybe, for trade. Protection against bandits or foreign incursion, maybe.


[01-Oct-20 07:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Possibly protection


[01-Oct-20 07:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I could see that being the biggest thing


[01-Oct-20 07:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It would be hard though to convince the average every day Lamia that they need to join the nation


[01-Oct-20 07:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Possibly drought, famine, etc


[01-Oct-20 07:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Do niggas generally look more favorably to Kings, or to Faceless National Governments?


[01-Oct-20 07:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Makes me think the King could slowly take in area after area, generation after generation of his own offspring being King and doing the same, playing it very diplomatically since Lamia don't like leashes


[01-Oct-20 07:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Really tries hard to make his and his descendents reputations  as A+ as possible so more Lamia areas are willing to join, kinda deal.


[01-Oct-20 07:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sorta on the fence on this idea, but I'm not sure what else there'd be.


[01-Oct-20 07:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah, I’m not sure either


[01-Oct-20 07:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Unless it’s less of a kingdom


[01-Oct-20 07:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

“We made a giant walled off city to protect us from the government, and put anti-government leaders in charge”


[01-Oct-20 07:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe it's a religious thing


[01-Oct-20 07:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The King is some sort of Demigod type deal, which is why he's accepted as the King at all, and why the Lamia pay low taxes to him.


[01-Oct-20 07:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In addition to being genuinely a good King, in a line of genuinely good Kings.


[01-Oct-20 07:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ahhhh


[01-Oct-20 07:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That could work


[01-Oct-20 07:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not necessarily literally a Demigod in power, just in either Lamia belief or technical classification.

Maybe certain families are Noble and occasionally marry into or out of the King's line, said families also being hte main traditional military families.


[01-Oct-20 07:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinking the King niggas and to a lesser extent the nobles would have a distinct look compared to most Lamia.


[01-Oct-20 07:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, we're talking about Lamia niggas in Lamia-Vietnam, right? Laminam... Vietmia... Vietlamia.


[01-Oct-20 07:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Vietlamia..? hmm.

{Reactions}
itstime 

[01-Oct-20 07:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Much of this is probably applicable to other Lamia cultures, in terms of the uh, biology and the quirks therein, and the cultural aspects affected by those quirks.


[01-Oct-20 07:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Family focused, no-step-on-snake, smol government, very independent, very land-centric in a lot of ways


[01-Oct-20 07:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[01-Oct-20 07:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What type of distinct look?


[01-Oct-20 07:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe more snakelike?


[01-Oct-20 07:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Different eyes, sharper teeth, venomous, etc?


[01-Oct-20 07:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not sure... Issue with being more snakelike is that might make them less fuckable, and separate from lewd purposes, might make them very offputting.


[01-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Recall our discussion on Samantha the Snake Sheriff, she doesn't like snakes, most Lamia don't, just like humans


[01-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Depends what one means by more snakelike though I suppose.


[01-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinking coloration, facial features, general body features if such a thing could be applicable.


[01-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe that revulsion gives a sense of fear to the Demi-god ones?


[01-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fear and respect?


[01-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Something something fear of god?


[01-Oct-20 07:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, maybe. Maybe.


[01-Oct-20 07:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe the Royalty have pretty potent magic, as well? What got me thinking that was literally remembering uhhh


[01-Oct-20 07:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[01-Oct-20 07:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes!


[01-Oct-20 07:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 07:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe regular lamias aren’t as magically charged, but the “royalty” are


[01-Oct-20 07:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmhmm. That's certainly an aspect I'd like to pursue, but, physical differences are important too.


[01-Oct-20 07:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Speaking of, the rattler Lamias are brown-ish, y'said, right? What about these Vietlamias.


[01-Oct-20 07:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe the more Royal, the less brown, just like literally every civilization ever?

[01-Oct-20 07:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The jungle ones are more jungle snake colored


[01-Oct-20 07:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But as they get closer to the sea it’s more reds and yellows like coral snakes


[01-Oct-20 07:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Those colors on the human parts? 


[01-Oct-20 07:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The scale patterns, no question


[01-Oct-20 07:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but the human parts are what I'm thinkin' on.

Wheremst she from? Vietlamia? Ormst do the Vietlamia niggas never look like this? Or do some areas in the Vietlamia area look like this, so it's really quite regionally dependent?


[01-Oct-20 07:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Semi-local-regionally-dependent


[01-Oct-20 07:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Said Orb-tube also has a very kawaii scale coloration and pattern


[01-Oct-20 07:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Reminds me of very fine silk


[01-Oct-20 07:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe coloration varies by family?


[01-Oct-20 07:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
She could be from Vietlamia


[01-Oct-20 07:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, family and general region.


[01-Oct-20 07:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Two families with adjoining property over hunnids' of years could end up having similar ish color tones to eachother. Perhaps so much so that, despite more or less being friends, they start really pushing their pairing-age snakes apart to other separate families.

Don’t want any accidental incest


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, do'mst Lamia lay eggs? 


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I was skirting around this subject because I don’t know


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because the genitals are human


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm going to say yes. Snakes do, irl, right? Or... Wait..


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The bottom half is snake


[01-Oct-20 07:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I think *most* snakes lay eggs


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but Rattlers specifically are live birth, iirc.


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Most snakes do IRL


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Something I'll look up later.


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe the rattler lamia give live birth


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
At any rate, could have it be like that. Most Lamia do eggs.


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But regular lamia tend to produce an egg


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Wait


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Question is


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Single egg


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
do snakes lay unfertilized eggs


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454



[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or multiple


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] instant ramen#8608
OH U GUYS ARE STILL DOING THIS


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
because Lamia are *big* snakes


[01-Oct-20 07:49 PM] instant ramen#8608

L-Lamia lore


[01-Oct-20 07:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I took a 4 hour nap so not much in that period, but


[01-Oct-20 07:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mostly Lamia government and society. Lamia government needs to be paired with Religion or mono-ethnic stuff to really be internally stable


[01-Oct-20 07:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or have a very constant external force pushing them together.


[01-Oct-20 07:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They're not one for Government in their business or authority they, personally, didn't give permission to be above them.


[01-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Personal freedoms are probably pretty big. Life sentences might be seen as cruel and unusual punishment, for instance. It might be that they're less keen on normal prisons and more keen on house arrest, or an equivalent.


[01-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ahhh


[01-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s good


[01-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Infinitevegetals#7795
So to reproduce a lamia they just give you a handy and you have to nut on their eggs right

{Reactions}
unnerved itstime 

[01-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So some Lamia does some bad shit, the local Lamia government gives him a fair trial, and sentence him to 5 years on his own family property. If there is no family property for some reason, maybe some other arrangements are made.


[01-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
handies are probably involved at some point, but cumming inside women is very very important


[01-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Infinitevegetals that’s fish that do that, not snakes


[01-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Would Lamia be like harpys


[01-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where the egg hesitates inside for a little bit


[01-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then is laid


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then is incubated?


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Before it hatches


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah. I don't think eggs could really work otherwise.


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What's the alternative, they stay in until the day they hatch?


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Infinitevegetals#7795
So they have a puss is what your saying


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More like egg is fertilized and then laid to incubate


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Infinitevegetals#7795
Snake pussy


[01-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They def have a puss


[01-Oct-20 07:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Snussy


[01-Oct-20 07:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the word you're looking for is Snussy, Mal-


[01-Oct-20 07:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
yeah


[01-Oct-20 07:57 PM] Infinitevegetals#7795
Nice


[01-Oct-20 08:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, cum inside Lamia, she starts looking pregnant after a few months, she spits out an egg within idunno 4 - 6 months of inception, and then goes into a very instinctually driven protective frenzy over the egg for a month or two or three.


[01-Oct-20 08:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm not sure how Snakes handle their eggs irl, but I imagine Lamia coil around them to give them heat a lot.


[01-Oct-20 08:04 PM] Coastie#3790
Makes a nest out of the clean, freshly laundered cloths


[01-Oct-20 08:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The late stages of "having a child" for Lamia, I say having a child since technically speaking the pregnancy ends after 4 to 6 months of course, end up leaving the female Lamia really ragged. Bitch hasn't seen the sun in 3 months, hasn't got to rest her orbs on a sunning rock in double that time


[01-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Probably not much in the way of exercise, naturally not much in the way of socialization but I imagine when a Lamia gets into that, uhh... Nesting Stage or whatever, her friends and family come to visit her often, since she won't want to leave the egg(s).


[01-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Coastie#3790
Immediate food shopping spree after laying to get as mich food as possible. To minimize eggs alone time


[01-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A very strong natural instinct to keep the egg as safe as possible. Sometimes this means descending into her family caves. In our world, this means the Basement or she turns the bedroom into a fortress.


[01-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Kek


[01-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe. She'd probably want to send her Husbando out to get the food. If she for some reason didn't have that option, and didn't have family to do it, then she'd certainly try to get a lot of food.


[01-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe the hormones she releases also trigger the other lamias like this as well?


[01-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where they also become more protective of the eggs?


[01-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Imagine a snake girl wrapped around an egg, wearing a repro stalhelm, with ammo cans acting as sand bags for a Lewis gun at the foot of the bed


[01-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Very cute.


[01-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Coastie#3790
Lizards don't do pheromones


[01-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But sales can smell heat and stuff like that


[01-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, but these aren't all lizard. That being said Idunno about pheromones causing that


[01-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe just some instinctual urge to assist the mother-to-be.


[01-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Coastie#3790
But the other female lamias know what she's going through and want to help?


[01-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mentally, probably. Maybe it's usually a family thing.


[01-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But if there aren't any family around maybe her Lamia friends would feel some natural inclination for it too.


[01-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Friendly visits just exacerbating that feeling.


[01-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Coastie#3790

[01-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, what kind of skin tone can we expect in Vietlamia? Gook, white, dark-gook, *maybe* sand nigger, and occasionally American Injun for shit like rattlers and the like? @Battlebrothermichael


[01-Oct-20 08:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I say yes, all of the above


[01-Oct-20 08:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Depending on the family and where they are


[01-Oct-20 08:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If more field oriented Tan-ish


[01-Oct-20 08:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But foresty and shaded would mean paler


[01-Oct-20 08:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Was just glancing over what we said and I missed a comment of yours. >Single egg or multiple
One or two, three being quite unusual, 4 four being really really unusual, and 5 and 6 being state wide newspaper worthy maybe


[01-Oct-20 08:38 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm... Well, what do Royal Lamia look like? Niggas part of the King's line.


[01-Oct-20 08:38 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Bright luminous scales, like that cutie lamia I posted earlier? Scales line shining silk?


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] mothman#1742
maybe king cobras ?


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] mothman#1742
with the hood


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinkin' of King Cobras generally, but howmst do you work in the hoods.


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Plus when I think King Cobras I really think Violence


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
a lot of violence


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] mothman#1742
maybe the hood is still there, i just pops up on their necck


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not so much the Stately and 400 IQ diplomatic God-King niggas Harpy and I spoke of.


[01-Oct-20 08:39 PM] mothman#1742

[01-Oct-20 08:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 08:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hell


[01-Oct-20 08:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What if some of the scales flowed in the dark from magical charge?

Look at the shine these scales have. Royal blood.


[01-Oct-20 08:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Fairly pale, maybe also an indication of, sometimes, noble blood.


[01-Oct-20 08:44 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oohhh


[01-Oct-20 08:44 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe golden/fair skin is an indicator of royalty?


[01-Oct-20 08:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, like I said earlier, royal or noble or king niggas are generally a lot lighter skinned than the people they rule


[01-Oct-20 08:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
historically anyway


[01-Oct-20 08:46 PM] Infinitevegetals#7795



[01-Oct-20 08:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So you get the Whiteoid Lamia who are thought of as attractive specifically because of their paleness in Lamia society but who aren't actual nobles - Forest dwelling ones like you said and probably regional groupings of Lamia that are light skinned regardless of the environment, and then the King Niggas got 'dem amazing scales and skin that tends toward gold or otherwise fair.


[01-Oct-20 08:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What about Albino lamias?


[01-Oct-20 08:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That could be in their culture


[01-Oct-20 08:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe their god is described as “a great white snake”


[01-Oct-20 08:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
||~~which is actually human dicks~~||


[01-Oct-20 08:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Bad joke


[01-Oct-20 08:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That makes me think of Lamia priestesses


[01-Oct-20 08:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and then playing around with them in exactly that way.


[01-Oct-20 08:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, Albino stuff might work. The great white snake that spawned their royal line being white, but the royal line itself, at least for as long as anyone could ever track down or remember, is merely just fairly pale as far as snakes go.


[01-Oct-20 08:51 PM] mothman#1742

Of course not, *but*, a situation where you're dating a Lamia priestess and work that into it could certainly be.


[01-Oct-20 08:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The great white snake thing almost makes me think of Nephilim


[01-Oct-20 08:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 08:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Anyway what do we got then. Demigod King of Vietlamia. All the niggas accept him, most of them happily, but all of them at least willingly, because he's a God King. Kinda like the Japs in a sense.


[01-Oct-20 09:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sounds about right


[01-Oct-20 09:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
His line is pretty broad, and a lot of noble families have a few drops in them, most of whom are very specialized in military shit or occasionally governmental project type niggas.


[01-Oct-20 09:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Proper Royal blood niggas have downright Luminous scales. Like beautiful living silk. The richer nobles and peasant merchants especially probably wax and lacquer their own scales to mimic the look, which was quite stylish historically and still has some place even today.


[01-Oct-20 09:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Lamia royalty Discover turtle wax and car buffers


[01-Oct-20 09:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Merchants are prolly city Lamia in large part. Whole families owning areas maybe half the size of a modern city block


[01-Oct-20 09:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>never been more grossly iridescent


[01-Oct-20 09:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So they still have some semblance of privacy and autonomy from their neighbors, but are much much much closer together than the much more typical rural lamia.


[01-Oct-20 09:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe both literally and figuratively


[01-Oct-20 09:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, as far as any Fankasia race, Lamia probably unironically have the most historic and traditional knowledge of waxes and buffing. To the point where if, for some strange reason, Dwarven industry requires a touch or two of that, they subcontract it out to the Lamia.

Oh waifugarbage
I think you pinged the wrong person


[01-Oct-20 09:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and I'm saying that Lamia's have a huge history of waxes and buffing for autistic cultural reasons


[01-Oct-20 09:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and that, historically, Dwarves might occasionally contract or subcontract them for their services in that regard because they're genuinely just the best at that specific and rare thing.


[01-Oct-20 09:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[01-Oct-20 09:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamias do live underground


[01-Oct-20 09:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, much much more shallowly than Dwarves do.


[01-Oct-20 09:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So they wouldn’t be as out of place in dwarven keeps


[01-Oct-20 09:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe at the more surface level area


[01-Oct-20 09:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 09:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But even then, they wouldn’t feel as at home


[01-Oct-20 09:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Since dwarves are more social


[01-Oct-20 09:15 PM] Overland#3496
Make them like the krell from mass effect

[01-Oct-20 09:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Speaking of which, the Lamias with more well built-up family estates, including the large underground portions, probably have raised walking surfaces generally, but especially for when it rains. The water travels under these raises platforms and through the tunnels and eventually makes it's way to the Lamia's equivalent of a sub-basement room, where all the water collects from these really bad rains


[01-Oct-20 09:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and that room is basically a giant sand-filter


[01-Oct-20 09:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
so that room drains out into another one slightly bellow and to the side of it,


[01-Oct-20 09:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
which, itself is a large clay-brick-lined water-proof water cistern.

[01-Oct-20 09:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Holy shit


[01-Oct-20 09:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s amazing


[01-Oct-20 09:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[01-Oct-20 09:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Very poor families or ones that for some reason have very poorly constructed tunnel homes, or cheaply constructed ones at least, might not even have raised walking surfaces


[01-Oct-20 09:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Those that do would surely, surely, surely have them be made of wood and be fairly rough.


[01-Oct-20 09:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Richer(In this case by Richer I mean richer than the poor niggas. So, like, lower middle-class) niggas have proper and good-looking walking surfaces that cover the entire breadth of the tunnels, raised off the ground of course. Richer niggas might start having fine clay tiled surfaces on top of the wood


[01-Oct-20 09:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and yet richer niggas would have full on carved stone, fit together very well and very smooth.


[01-Oct-20 09:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In fact, the richer Lamias probably had quite a few faux pas' when equally rich Humans visited, and found the incredibly smooth and polished stone floors somewhat slippery, *especially* so in the rainy season when you'd have trouble not getting at least a little wet here and there.


[01-Oct-20 09:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

In Thailand


[01-Oct-20 09:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Often in the main entertaining room (like a big living, dining room, etc) they often have a huge slab of marble flooring. Reason being that it is a big heat sink(?) and cools off the entire room very well.


[01-Oct-20 09:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d picture lamias having something similar in their main living areas


[01-Oct-20 09:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[01-Oct-20 09:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Speaking of which, how long is the average Lamia, tail tip to crown


[01-Oct-20 09:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
How many square miles would a Lamia living space have to be?


[01-Oct-20 09:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
15 - 20 feet?


[01-Oct-20 09:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ah


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d think the human section would be 3 1/2ft–4ft easily


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm.


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe about fifteen


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And the snake section I think needs to be at *least* 3 times the length of the human section.


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
With twenty being an extra large lamia


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So 15 - 25 feet being the average range?


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] mothman#1742
what about small lamias ?


[01-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So around 12ft-15ft being the average?


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mm.


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Wait


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Average range isn't the right word


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
potential range is better.


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Potential


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
15ft is probably the average length


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
With deviations going both ways


[01-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
12 is the short ass ones, 15 is more normal, 18 is gettin' a lil long, 20 - 25 is the really longmst niggas.


[01-Oct-20 09:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Are the Vietlamia Royalty longer or the same as most Lamia


[01-Oct-20 09:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Is that 15 feet of tial or 15 feet overall


[01-Oct-20 09:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oh I mean tail


[01-Oct-20 09:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 09:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>tip to crown


[01-Oct-20 09:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably about 20ft


[01-Oct-20 09:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's better.


[01-Oct-20 09:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Okay so 20 feet is what, middle average?


[01-Oct-20 09:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And 15 is short, 25 is long?


[01-Oct-20 09:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes

[01-Oct-20 09:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 09:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
20ft of tail?


[01-Oct-20 09:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ramen-kun, you're in Math, do the math and tell me how much tail is necessary to wrap around a human body.


[01-Oct-20 09:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How thick are the tails did you say Harpy-kun?


[01-Oct-20 09:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
30 - 40 inches wide?


[01-Oct-20 09:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[01-Oct-20 09:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
When your math teachers in school said you'd need math in real life, this, specifically, is what they meant Ramen-kun.


[01-Oct-20 09:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
About as wide round as a human torso probably, if not a little more


[01-Oct-20 09:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How inconvenient is that length of tail anyway..


[01-Oct-20 09:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And also, some of that length is taken up by acting as legs, putting them at or above human height


[01-Oct-20 09:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
despite the torso being 3 - 4 feet long.


[01-Oct-20 09:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So their "standing" length, not counting their vertical length in that, would be what.. their tail minus 2, 2 and a half feet?


[01-Oct-20 09:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably about that


[01-Oct-20 09:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
*IF* they wanted to read up that high


[01-Oct-20 09:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Regular snakes can do it, but rarely


[01-Oct-20 09:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Really depends on the snake


[01-Oct-20 09:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So assuming average length, in practice, it's more like 17 or 18 feet of tail. Which is a lot of tail but not *sooo* much that it would become a major problem in a human home, I don't think.


[01-Oct-20 09:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe only very athletic lamia can do it?


[01-Oct-20 09:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Can do what?


[01-Oct-20 09:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Completely read up like Th at


[01-Oct-20 09:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fully


[01-Oct-20 09:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Most of them would be content to be at standard human height I would think


[01-Oct-20 09:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably resting around 6-7ft


[01-Oct-20 09:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee. So 4 feet of torso give or take and 2 feet of tail, give or take, yee?


[01-Oct-20 09:39 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yee


[01-Oct-20 09:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[01-Oct-20 09:43 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
amongst other things


[01-Oct-20 09:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh, speaking of which, how much do Lamias weigh then? A larger than normal human section and 20 feet of Lamia tail that's roughly speaking a circle of meat the belt-size of a human torso roughly


[01-Oct-20 09:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What in the hell can we translate that into for weight


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Well


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Anacondas usually weigh around 1,100lbs


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Google tells me human legs are about 17 percent of body weight. Let's call it 20 to be easy.


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And they are about 12 inches in diameter and 30-ish feet


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So take away 20 percent off human average, and then increase it by what... How much bigger at the human sections of Lamia than humans? 10 percent? 20? 30?


[01-Oct-20 09:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s potential a lamia could weigh about a ton


[01-Oct-20 09:46 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
measure how much a slab of meat 20 feet long, about 2 feet wide, weighs
then, add 83% of an average human weight


[01-Oct-20 09:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmm. Shit. Lamia tails are roughly half of Anaconda overall length, but they're more than twice as thick roughly speaking. Call'm about a ton then, I guess.


[01-Oct-20 09:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Shit Lamia are fucking heavy


[01-Oct-20 09:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Damn


[01-Oct-20 09:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s one hell of a piggy back


[01-Oct-20 09:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe 20 feet of Lamia tail's a bit much, considering that.


[01-Oct-20 09:50 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ehhh


[01-Oct-20 09:50 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Nah


[01-Oct-20 09:50 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Keep it


[01-Oct-20 09:50 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe around 1,500pounds total?


[01-Oct-20 09:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Y'think so? I just walked-out about 15 feet of space as the crow flies in my kitchen and that's not that insanely long of a creature to have walking around a human home imo.


[01-Oct-20 09:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Depends.


[01-Oct-20 09:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Are Lamia more muscular in the human section in addition to just being bigger


[01-Oct-20 09:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
if not, 1,300. If so, 1,500.


[01-Oct-20 09:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
holy shit


[01-Oct-20 09:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A lamia GF would weigh like,


[01-Oct-20 09:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
75 percent of what my car weighs


[01-Oct-20 09:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well, at 1,500 pounds she would.


[01-Oct-20 09:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Weird to think that every percentage point of weight removed off the tail section would be a little more than 10 pounds of weight off.


[01-Oct-20 09:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, that seems like a conclusion I suppose. I hope the Lamia get some benefit for all that weight.


[01-Oct-20 09:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Speaking of, what can their tail do? It's really strong, I should think, as it needs to propel itself at the very least.


[01-Oct-20 09:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Hmm...


[01-Oct-20 09:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A-Are Lamia actually r-really fast?


[01-Oct-20 09:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"they grip the surface to propel the snake forward. Due to this, snakes cannot move on glass."

Oh shit


[01-Oct-20 09:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Okay so apparently 8 is the higher side of average


[01-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and it's actually 5 - 8 miles on average, which is slower or the same as human jogging


[01-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But that is relative to its size


[01-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup.


[01-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Though the important bit there is uh


[01-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the snake portion is what, two or two and a half times as thicc as an anaconda


[01-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and... hm. I should google how fast anaconda are.


[01-Oct-20 09:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oh they are fucking fast


[01-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"On land, anacondas are capable of reaching up to 5 miles per hour. In water, anacondas have the ability to maintain a speed of 10 miles per hour. If stalking prey, they have a tendency to move at 8 miles per hour."


[01-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, not that fast.


[01-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
As fast as us if they're going after prey, which we can assume is their top speed, or near it


[01-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
where as ours is what, 12 or 15 or some such.


[01-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Their water speed is impressive, so that's something of note for sure.


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But consider for the size difference


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But as Anacondas are the baseline for Lamia size and girth, double-ish the size, does that really mean double the speed?


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia go pretty fast


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And yes


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>10mph average speed


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:excuseme:


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Say, 16 if they're sprinting, 10 if they're jogging


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I mean maybe 16 is more like


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
running for their life usan bolt tier


[01-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and average sprinting is more like 14 - 15.


[01-Oct-20 10:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So, faster than us, but not blindingly so.


[01-Oct-20 10:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I could see Lamia being beaten at track on occasion, for instance.


[01-Oct-20 10:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
One downside is slithering oughtta get'm tired faster. It burns more energy, doesn't it? That's supposed to be the meme with humans, our movement is really energy efficient over long-ass distances which allows us to walk-chase prey, in nature.


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia would have to eat a huge amount


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Especially considering how much muscle they have to power


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And they would get tired easily


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm... They're as, or nearly as, active as humans.


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Despite being what


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
5 times as large, by mass?


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
shit, more actually


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
6 or 7 times


[01-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So they're lookin' at fucking what,


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
a 17,000 calorie meal?


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:excuseme:


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Holy shit I really hope they're able to leverage this into an increased ability to actually get food


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I mean,


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I guess ultimately that would make staple foods way more important.


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Farming


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Large animals


[01-Oct-20 10:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Meat would be important


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Overland#3496
So what's most effective way to kill them
Can we take advantage of the fact they slither


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Actually


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ping lopata about that


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhhh


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sugar


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lopatwhom


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and about what


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sugar cane fields


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The killing lamias


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>effective way to kill them
Same as normal snakes


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
cut off the head


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Alternatively:


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yee


[01-Oct-20 10:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Keep a .357 snub nose in a holster with snake shot.


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Overland#3496
Poison on the ground
Ingested through skin


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Overland#3496
Or 
Alternatively


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Overland#3496
Cover the ground in petrol


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Overland#3496
Risk of fire


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It'd have to be certain types of ground to hold the petrol in the way you'd want.


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A flame thrower might be better.


[01-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Flame thrower, maybe AP 5.56


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Problem is I imagine most of the vitals are in the human section.


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Same here


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It really wouldn’t be that hard


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe a very long digestive tract in the lamia section, and of course blood vessels to supply all that meat and muscle and all


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the thing is, the lamia can prolly move their upper body in very effective defensive ways


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Would the tail be considered like one giant thigh?


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and just, temporarily at least, tank snake-tail shots.


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Overland#3496
If you set them on fire it will make them sit still


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Overland#3496
So you can shoot them


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Nigga if you set them on fire it'd be like a fire hose gone wild


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
you kiddin' me


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
you'd be at risk of *accidentally* getting smashed


[01-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Overland#3496
What about traps


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Overland#3496
They'd be susceptible to spike and barb traps


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
that being said


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Overland#3496
Imagine trying to get one out


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
fire from afar is still prolly effective


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and since they're in tunnels


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fire would be the worst way to kill lamia


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
fire in thoe would work


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Overland#3496
Bouncing Betties


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Shit nigga


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
more like not-bounce-at-all-betties


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Overland#3496
Mini Bouncing Betties that drill with a small motor into the tail and explode


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
since they'd step on the mine and it'd be about 30 seconds before they ultimately step off it.


[01-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Overland#3496
That's fucking badass


[01-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A lamia could potentially set off an AT mine


[01-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Overland#3496
Bouncing Betty drills are going into the document


[01-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmm.... 1,500 pounds spread out across, let's call it.... 15 feet of the main weight-supporting section of tail.


[01-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
that's 100 pounds per foot of lamia, actually. I think, anyway. Yeah.


[01-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Prolly works out to be like uh


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe half the foot-pressure a GI would have.


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Overland#3496
Oh my god


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Overland#3496
Barbed wire


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Overland#3496
Yes


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Overland#3496
Anti lamia wire


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Really extra sharp barbed wire


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So wait


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Would a lamia be able to cross mine without setting them off?


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Overland#3496
Imagine how difficult it would be to untangle one


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia have a very light, uhm,


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
not step exactly but


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
there's a word for it they use in tank shit...


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not so much pressure


[01-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ground pressure something something.


[01-Oct-20 10:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but yeah, very light. I doubt light enough to *not* set off anti personnel mines


[01-Oct-20 10:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said


[01-Oct-20 10:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
mines that require the user to step *off*?


[01-Oct-20 10:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia can probably get past one without it actually being lethal to them.


[01-Oct-20 10:11 PM] Overland#3496
Makes sense 
Lamia mine clearers


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Click
>Intense immediate fear
>Realization that it didn't explode
>Carefully slither forward so the clicker never actually gets un-pressed until the tip of your tail


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sure, your asshole gets blown off


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but you ain't dead


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>just swings tail out of the way


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh yeah,


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
might still sustain damage but


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Even less so


[01-Oct-20 10:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
all that power moving that little tail tip? I bet Lamia could prolly do that.


[01-Oct-20 10:13 PM] MandoSpam#7812
I imagine lizard parts like snake tails do re grow I'd imagine it'd be a slower process with a lamia


[01-Oct-20 10:13 PM] MandoSpam#7812
Since they're much bigger and depending on the injury


[01-Oct-20 10:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ehh, do snakes actually have that regrow ability


[01-Oct-20 10:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Liggers, sure, I'll swallow that


[01-Oct-20 10:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but snakes?


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said human fingers do regrow chunks of flesh WAY better than any other part of their bodies


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
maybe it's the same with lamia tails.


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe in a way?


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe not the complete tail


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But portions of it


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Tail-tips, I should have said.


[01-Oct-20 10:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also,


[01-Oct-20 10:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>tfw you will never meet a Lamia Korean War grunt in a field hospital and treat her for frost bite and eventually marry her


[01-Oct-20 10:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There's unironically no point in becoming a doctor in this world.


[01-Oct-20 10:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@instant ramen ^^^


[01-Oct-20 10:17 PM] MandoSpam#7812
I imagine in colder regions they would rely heavily on portable heat sources.


[01-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>have to get pocket hand warmers for Lamia


[01-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>about 100 packets per


[01-Oct-20 10:18 PM] MandoSpam#7812
Or is that just giving lamias an unnecessary weakness.


[01-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Going hunting with Lamia GF
>She forgets her pocket warmers
>Has to rush to Bass Pro and literally buy several fucking hundred pocket warmers


[01-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Based snake GF


[01-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine Lamia are mostly geared toward hotter or at least temperate climates.


[01-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They don't do snow that well.


[01-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That might be where their tunnels come in though. Make some under ground chimneys and such.


[01-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Rely very heavily on subsistence hunting int hose cases


[01-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they are only half cold blooded?


[01-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They can regulate to a degree, but not well enough as a human


[01-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm not sure I want the cold blooded thing generally.


[01-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I like my snussy like I like my hot chocolate in winter


[01-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
steaming fucking hot


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] MandoSpam#7812
I was thinking of monster mesume a little bit in regards to the temp thing. Although maybe not as exaggerated as that maybe they just generally don't like the cold.


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not liking the cold would be fun


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
OOOHHH


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I think I'd have it be where they are just very biologically geared toward and quite biologically capable of dealing with excess heat, but not nearly as well suited for cold.


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
THE TAIL GETS CRAMPS IN THE COLD


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So in hot areas their uhhhh washu call it.


[01-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Their uhm... the food-thing. What's that called.


[01-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What's the process of how efficiently your body processes food called.


[01-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Metabolism?


[01-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ohhh


[01-Oct-20 10:22 PM] MandoSpam#7812
I'm fairly certain they would like Saunas very much.


[01-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What if they had a slower metabolism?


[01-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's the one. Memetabolism slows down in the heat, since they don't need to heat their bodies nearly as much. Just lay on a sunning rock, shut down for an hour or so, let your body digest the 17,000 fucking calorie meal you just ate


[01-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Keeps them from expending so many calories, but also makes them a little colder


[01-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well, a slower metabolism would mean they wouldn't have nearly as much energy generally


[01-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
which is a problem if they're as active as humans, which, for many many reasons, I'dw ant them to me.


[01-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well. Active as humans minus the typical mid day naps.


[01-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They’d still have roughly the same amount of energy


[01-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, that still turns around to the issue of them being colder to the touch, which ain't pleasant. Imagine going to buy a sushi wrap from the store and taking it back home to fuck.


[01-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:unnerved:


[01-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I like the idea of Lamia long johns


[01-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
that are just one giant sock.


[01-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
There better be an image for this


[01-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was making a sandwich and a phrase came to mind


[01-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"Snake milk"


[01-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmm.


[01-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Snake milk?


[01-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
W-would they...


[01-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like a platypus?


[01-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
w-wait what


[01-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
what does a platypus do


[01-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
||The answer is "They don't do much"||


[01-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A platypus?


[01-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
yeah


[01-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
platypus milk pill me

PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!?!


[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But yeah platypus lay eggs and produce milk


[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454



[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
yes


[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
much like Lamia


[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia are platypus


[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Egg laying mammals


[01-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[01-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Makes sense because they are also warm blooded


[01-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
After this sandwich I will be reading Farm Reports on Vietnam because I have autism


[01-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ahhh


[01-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
See if it would be able to sustain


[01-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
yeee


[01-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmm.


[01-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
" Early History of Agriculture in Vietnam

In the 1st century, furrowing with iron ploughshares on wingploughs drawn by oxen or water buffaloes gradually replaced cultivation in burned out clearings. In particular, hydraulic works, canals and dykes ensured control over water; the use of fertilizer facilitated intensive farming, the practice of growing two crops a year on well-irrigated fields for example. The growing of tubers such as sweet potato, sugarcane and mulberry was already known, as well as various vegetables and fruit trees. Mulberry growing and silkworm raising took pride of place; there was also betel, areca-nut trees, medicinal plants, bamboo and rattan, which supplied raw materials for basket making. From the earliest centuries, there was thus a diversified agriculture which, gradually improved, would last for a very long time. ~ "


[01-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia could be good at basket weaving.


[01-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, as an aside, let's talk about Lamia swimming speed. Anacondas move at a certain speed, but they swim a hell of a lot better


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia could swim fast


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Very fast


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What if they grew lots of sugar?


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
10 MPH. So Lamia could do what, 20 MPH in the water? Their average swim speed is way faster than our top sprint speed


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sugar is very calorie dense


[01-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It is. Though would that be very palatable? And is it, ultimately, an efficient crop when you consider your calorie-yields yearly?


[01-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Perhaps


[01-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe it grows very fast where they live?


[01-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like bamboo does?


[01-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm... Bamboo cane.


[01-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Bamboo cane


[01-Oct-20 10:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sugar Bamboo..


[01-Oct-20 10:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not as much sugar, but grows much faster


[01-Oct-20 10:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Could also be ground into a starch to make breads


[01-Oct-20 10:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Very sugary, calorie dense breads


[01-Oct-20 10:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
` Rural Vietnam has traditionally been left on its own. There is often repeated old saying: "The emperor's authority stop's at the village gate." The word emperor could also be replace the French colonial government and the current Communist government. `

Like a very fast growing wheat


[01-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Apparently sweet potatoes are super space efficient


[01-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
70,000 calories per hectare per day.


[01-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
double what wheat's capable of


[01-Oct-20 11:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oh shit


[01-Oct-20 11:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sweet potatoes it is


[01-Oct-20 11:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sweet potatoes, rice, sugar cane, and also cash crop type shit like coffee


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Prolly raise pigs for slaughter and do a lot of fishing.


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I was just going to say main source of protein would most likely be fish


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Pigs work as well


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Eat all the leftover produce scraps


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe chickens for eggs and since they grow quick


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup.


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Asians generally, as far as I understand, absolutely love egg


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Only thing I can’t see is cows


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Absolutely fucking love it, culinary...ly.


[01-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, though...


[01-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Water buffalo are big beasts of burden in Vietnam.


[01-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Even today they're used to till rice fields


[01-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oh definitely


[01-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
An alright source of beef, if one's getting too old and suc.


[01-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Can you milk a water buffalo?

`Water Buffalo milk is the most nutritious milk available for human consumption. It is 100% A2/A2 milk, which means that is less allergenic than A1 milk, it has double the Protein, double the Calcium, 40% more nutrients and it has half the Cholesterol than cow's milk.`



[01-Oct-20 11:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Well that’s a good answer

Sweet potatoes give 70k calories a day and rice paddies give 49


[01-Oct-20 11:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
sweet potatoes give 1 unit of protein, whatever the fuck that is, whre as rice gives 0.9


[01-Oct-20 11:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Seems like rice is sort of a luxury crop compared to sweet potatoes tbh.


[01-Oct-20 11:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
'course, that's all info from the mid 80's


[01-Oct-20 11:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
US info, which I think was the top source for this kinda then then


[01-Oct-20 11:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but still 80's. Eh, prolly accurate.


[01-Oct-20 11:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Apparently 1 hectare is 2.4 acres


[01-Oct-20 11:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So 1 acre of sweet potato farming gives you.. 29,160 calories a day, give or take.


[01-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah, sweet potatoes would be good to love on for them compared to rice


[01-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe the rice is their selling crop?


[01-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So one acre can feed 1 adult Lamia and probably also a child Lamia, with sweet potatoes, per day.


[01-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Luxury lamia rice?


[01-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>1 acre to feed a single adult lamia a day


[01-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Bruh


[01-Oct-20 11:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well,


[01-Oct-20 11:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
1.7 adult lamias.


[01-Oct-20 11:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
These numbers ain't small that's for sure.


[01-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How good is fish and other catchable animals are providing calories?


[01-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Meat has higher calories


[01-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So does dairy


[01-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I guess lamias will drink a fucking huge amount of milk


[01-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Milk truck snake wife.


[01-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, maybe they supplement their farm shit with a lot of fish. Sweet potato dishes, rice dishes, and fish dishes.


[01-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah, you also have the many meats


[01-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And eggs


[01-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lots of eggs


[01-Oct-20 11:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also


[01-Oct-20 11:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
We are dealing with earth stuff


[01-Oct-20 11:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe there is a lot more fankasia stuff that is good at providing creatures like this the calories they need to survive


[01-Oct-20 11:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because if they can get this big


[01-Oct-20 11:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Logically there is a good enough food source to allow that


[01-Oct-20 11:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Prolly have their own type of fermented fish sauce. Something with nuttier flavoring than normal fish sauces. Nuttier, grainier, maybe.


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I say nuttier and grainier because mice and rodents absolutely love nuts, and snakes absolutely love rodents, so I figure they would have a very distant somewhat instinctual taste for nutty flavor on meats


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:happyharpy:


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Mouse fish?


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>fankasia shit
yee. Some sort of plant native to Vietlamia.


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh.... Hmm.


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm...


[01-Oct-20 11:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sweet potato but beeg


[01-Oct-20 11:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe they leave their rice paddies to fallow every year or two, and let the water sit and evaporate over time, leaving occasional puddles


[01-Oct-20 11:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and let the field and the remaining plants get over run with mice fish, which they then catch en masse and cook like you would dove.


[01-Oct-20 11:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Family events similar to jackrabbit stomping shit


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
where they converge to the center of the field, catching everything they can.


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said,


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
mabye not.


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But, for sure,


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
nutty fish sauces.


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fallow?


[01-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What is that?


[01-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh


[01-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's like leaving your field to just sit around and let nature take over for a few seasons or a whole year


[01-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and then afterward it may or may not be burned,


[01-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but at the least is now healthier for your next crop.


[01-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ah, I see


[01-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That


[01-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not sure if it's applicable to Vietnam's, uh, climate though.


[01-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Might be.


[01-Oct-20 11:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I feel like it's more common to have two eggs than it is for humans to have to kids in one pregnancy


[01-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe a fair bit more common. 1 in every 4th pregnancy doing so, maybe.


[01-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But an equally low chance as humans for the kids to be identical twins.

Imagine a poor lamia girl trying to skate


[01-Oct-20 11:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
She'd need like


[01-Oct-20 11:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
fuckin' 10 skateboards to support her weight


[01-Oct-20 11:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Separate from that, the Lamia in Vietlamia could also do fish farming. Harvest local surface shit that fish like to eat, throw it in a man made pond with a bunch of said fish, do it once every day or two for 6 months


[01-Oct-20 11:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and bam, you've got a lot of fish that can be harvested.


[01-Oct-20 11:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
For areas that aren't close enough to large rivers to warrant fishing.


[02-Oct-20 12:32 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael Do the Lamia do much ancestor worship? Also how big are the human parts of Lamia?


[02-Oct-20 01:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>I feel like it's more common to have two eggs than it is for humans to have to kids in one pregnancy
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit  I like that, 1/4 seems like a good number.


[02-Oct-20 01:16 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also yes the fish farming would work well


[02-Oct-20 01:16 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Could easily get a lot of fish that way very easily, without worrying if the seasons catch will do well


[02-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d like to think lamias would be partial to ice skating since they wouldn’t have to put on skates, but they also hate the cold.


[02-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d say Lamias probably do something similar to the h*spanics with ancestor worship


[02-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I wonder if their snake parts wpuld slide well evebn


[02-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Put up the little shrine for the day of the dead


[02-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Set them out gifts and candles


[02-Oct-20 01:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe that could be part of one of their festivals?


[02-Oct-20 01:18 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Howssat tie into their emperor? Worship of their own ancestors, but also worship of the white snake


[02-Oct-20 01:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Worshipping their ancestors since they are now with the white snake and meeting him


[02-Oct-20 01:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Since they are all descended from that white snake


[02-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Dassa thing, they're all from him but his proper descendents are the royal niggas.


[02-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[02-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So it's like a uh


[02-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe instead of direct descendants


[02-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More like cousins?


[02-Oct-20 01:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Over God who is worshiped, the King whomst is a demigod in effect, and the individual's ancestors


[02-Oct-20 01:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee.


[02-Oct-20 01:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Distant spawn of the white snake.


[02-Oct-20 01:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Do they have temples and a religious functionary caste?


[02-Oct-20 01:24 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe in the big kingdoms?


[02-Oct-20 01:24 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I don’t think it would be too organized


[02-Oct-20 01:25 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Much like big government, they probably wouldn’t like the church stepping in on what they are doing


[02-Oct-20 01:25 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe each family had a small altar set up at home?


[02-Oct-20 01:25 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, I was thinking Vietlamia would be one Kingdom and any Lamia outsife may or may not subscribe to whitesnake monthly (tm)


[02-Oct-20 01:28 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, on these Lamia familial estates, what surface structures would there be? In big families, prolly a bunch of sunning rocks for starters. Would they be all clumped together or scattered around for privacy tho?


[02-Oct-20 01:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Eh, I was thinking Vietlamia would be one Kingdom and any Lamia outsife may or may not subscribe to whitesnake monthly (tm)
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit  explain more?


[02-Oct-20 01:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[02-Oct-20 01:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a bit of space in between


[02-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where each lamia could easily pass by without issue


[02-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Vietlamia's got one King, Lamia from outside Vietlamia may or may not view the King as divine, and may or may not worship the white snake


[02-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
As opposed to niggas in Vietlamia whomst are p. much all on board


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ahhh


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I see


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe, but would they want more privacy than that while sunning?


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like their own private sunning areas?


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably depends on the family imo


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Some might take time to communally sun as a group


[02-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe sometime after their huge meal


[02-Oct-20 01:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Others might have their own little sun spot that they personally select to be out of the way for some privacy and personal time


[02-Oct-20 01:31 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not too private, and not truly private, but more private than rocks as close as bus seats


[02-Oct-20 01:32 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like park benches. Intentionally spread out, but free to use


[02-Oct-20 01:34 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ah, yes


[02-Oct-20 01:34 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s a good comparison


[02-Oct-20 01:34 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Some parks benches are closer, other arent


[02-Oct-20 01:34 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How do they handle outsiders? I imagine theres two levels. Outsiders they know, like neighbours a short or moderate distance away, and outsiders they dont know at all.


[02-Oct-20 01:35 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And what do they think about humans specifically?


[02-Oct-20 01:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They probably greet their neighbors in a slightly friendly fashion


[02-Oct-20 01:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Wave, say hi, maybe a little small talk


[02-Oct-20 01:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But not much else


[02-Oct-20 01:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They probably great true outsider with just a nod or say “hello”, but not much else


[02-Oct-20 01:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably very intrigued by humans due to our “tendencies” and whatnot


[02-Oct-20 01:39 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Our behaviors


[02-Oct-20 01:39 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Trying to befriend/woo any creature we come across


[02-Oct-20 01:41 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That avid the whole looking like then but with legs thing. Do Lamia have pointy ears or human ears?


[02-Oct-20 01:42 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:kitty:


[02-Oct-20 01:42 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Now this is important


[02-Oct-20 01:42 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I say


[02-Oct-20 01:42 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Pointy


[02-Oct-20 01:42 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But not sensitive like elf ears


[02-Oct-20 01:42 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And, traditionally, do they distrust outsiders? Do they dislike them being around or not care much? How would Lamia respond to someone accidentally walkinf onto their land?


[02-Oct-20 01:45 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d say slightly distrust, yes


[02-Oct-20 01:45 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe dislike them being around


[02-Oct-20 01:45 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How do individualist tendencies and autism effect things like that? Where in life does their no step on snek instinct extend


[02-Oct-20 01:45 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
“Don’t take my bread gubberment” style


[02-Oct-20 01:45 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe it comes from a fear of raiders stealing their food, which they need a lot of to survive


[02-Oct-20 01:46 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If someone accidentally walked on their land they would probably tell them to fuck off


[02-Oct-20 01:46 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If it happened a second time though


[02-Oct-20 01:46 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:Jerry:


[02-Oct-20 01:47 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would they be bean about it and the great offense due to that protective instinct or would they be understanding?


[02-Oct-20 01:48 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I like the idea that their local elected sheriff is also their regional representative to the King's government.


[02-Oct-20 01:52 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
When doing business dealings they probably really prefer getting to know the person than being swayed wholely by their arguments. Find faceless corporations and to a lesser extent outsiders quite unappealing. Trust has to be earned, often times over a long period. S'why traders in Vietlamia don't modify they're routes all that much, it's harder to do effective trade with new clientele.

[02-Oct-20 01:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Understanding the first time, but the times after would feel intentional


[02-Oct-20 01:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Yes


[02-Oct-20 01:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like that second part


[02-Oct-20 01:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The trust aspect


[02-Oct-20 05:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael I feel like Lamia culture could be fleshed out further. Like how this don't-tread-on-me thing actually works in practice. Is that purely cultural, or is there a biological impulse for them to feel that way also?


[02-Oct-20 06:00 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Alright I wrote down mostly everything that I've read so far and Id like to get what I have corrected if possible.


[02-Oct-20 06:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit I think it would be more culturally ingrained to keep their family safe and supplied so they have enough food and stuff to survive


[02-Oct-20 06:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, which aspects would be instinctual rather than cultural?


[02-Oct-20 06:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There's the egg-crazy thing.


[02-Oct-20 06:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The egg crazy


[02-Oct-20 06:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's natural, for sure.


[02-Oct-20 06:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Culturally being more keeping to the self


[02-Oct-20 06:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[02-Oct-20 06:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The being underground thing seems like it'd be somewhat natural.


[02-Oct-20 06:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sunning, somewhat natural.


[02-Oct-20 06:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah


[02-Oct-20 06:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More so it was natural then became cultural


[02-Oct-20 06:10 PM] Wargunlock#0868 (pinned)
Lamias are....
>Not Very social
>Like being alone, with family unites and selected close friends
>Do not like talking with neighbors or chit chat in general
>Traditionally live in Jungles with soft clay soil that they use to build their underground family villas
>Like living in tunnels and close cave systems.
>Typically eat only one very large meal a day and then take a nap, usually eating during noontime.
>Festivals are culturaly mandated and are great places to meet other Lamias
>Lamias usually begin courtship during these festivals or at least are introduced to potential suitors during these festivals
>The parents usually pick favorites and coerce the children into marrying their favorite, usually keeping in mind their childs wishes.
>Lamias have two tables, one for their family and one for any potential guests (A rare occurance to be sure, as they are not a welcoming people)

[02-Oct-20 06:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[02-Oct-20 06:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Very good wargun


[02-Oct-20 06:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Prolly somewhere between 1,100 on the very very low end for a healthy adult Lamia and 1,700 being the highest, with 1,500 being average.


[02-Oct-20 06:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That was a lot to go through


[02-Oct-20 06:15 PM] Wargunlock#0868
I plan on doing these recaps just to make everything that much easier.


[02-Oct-20 06:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Idunno, let's go back over that chitchat thing. What was the gist of how you thought on that, Harpy-kun?


[02-Oct-20 06:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They don’t like many conversations with outsiders


[02-Oct-20 06:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not much talking


[02-Oct-20 06:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a “hello” or a wave but that’s it


[02-Oct-20 06:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How's that work with the family bordering theirs, for instance? And why? Is it considered rude? Or do they consider stuff like that just inviting trouble?


[02-Oct-20 06:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Those would be their neighbors


[02-Oct-20 06:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a little more chit chat


[02-Oct-20 06:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Weather, how’s the kids, how’s the harvest, etc


[02-Oct-20 06:17 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Let me know when to update the "Lamias are...." post after you are content with how Lamias are fleshed out.


[02-Oct-20 06:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It'll be a while, I feel. A lot of problems arise when you turn things upside down and shake them.


[02-Oct-20 06:19 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Moff and I made some Lore about Fankasia Asia being a total fucking hellhole full of dinosaurs, strong ass dragons and onis. Theres a lot of valuable ore, lumbers and other sorts of materials that people want to use to make shit with, Like the snails used to make purple dye or Rosewood harvested from the amazon people cant have enough of the shit there.

>more chit chat with neighbors
>How's X
Sounds like a fair bit more, then. Where's the line drawn? What would happen if someone who wasn't particularly special or interesting to the Lamia was walking around Vietlamia and tried to make a lil' conversation with a Lamia doing some task on the edge of her property? Blank stares? Requests to stop talking with her? Anger? Suspicion? Fear, perhaps?

[02-Oct-20 06:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael Wargun told me that Asia's full of dragons. Maybe the white snake had some dragon killing aspect to him.


[02-Oct-20 06:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like the sound of that


[02-Oct-20 06:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Apparently Asia's so lousy with them because there isn't that much in the way of civilization, and Dragons view it as a nice place to lay their giant egg hoards


[02-Oct-20 06:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And every once in a while a dragon egg hatches unexpectedly and goes to wreck shit because it's basically retarded.


[02-Oct-20 06:55 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>the white snake went around eating the eggs


[02-Oct-20 06:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So, with Vietlamia being a Monarchy, and having some semblance of nationhood, you'd think that baby dragons might be a problem for it.


[02-Oct-20 06:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yes.


[02-Oct-20 06:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would he be some sort of trickster...? Hmm. Or like


[02-Oct-20 06:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe has a lot of Stealth aspects to him.


[02-Oct-20 06:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Stealth feels snake-y.


[02-Oct-20 06:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Stealthy, but not trickster


[02-Oct-20 06:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Quiet


[02-Oct-20 06:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Apparently Asia has a lot of Adamantium, one of the only places to get it, so that's cool.


[02-Oct-20 06:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Fankasia-asia, anyway.


[02-Oct-20 06:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe that’s why they are also more isolated?


[02-Oct-20 06:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because the white snake was a loner?


[02-Oct-20 06:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or something like that?


[02-Oct-20 06:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh.


[02-Oct-20 06:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
He also says Asia has a shitload of literal dinosaurs and shit. Megafauna, as it were.


[02-Oct-20 06:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Great for hunting for food, I'd suppose.


[02-Oct-20 06:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[02-Oct-20 07:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Talkin' with Wargun-kun, was thinkin' Lamia don't do slavery at all. Like we discussed before, they don't even really do jail, and do house arrest type shit instead, with various restrictions on that.


[02-Oct-20 07:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe some sort of willing indentured servitude, *maybe*, but ehh. Think' on that more some time.


[02-Oct-20 07:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I agree with that


[02-Oct-20 07:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They wouldn’t like hired help much

[02-Oct-20 07:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael Ayy, tell me about the human half of Lamia.


[02-Oct-20 07:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They're 20 or 30 percent bigger in their human section, right? I'm talkin' to Wargun-kun and he's asking.


[02-Oct-20 07:39 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Lamias are....(part.2)
>Female Lamias take potential suitors on "Hunting dates", Whether it be fishing or hunting, when they really like the person. Something something, im getting calories with you.
>Lamia society is run by a government with strong religious influence or by a united ethnic tribal situation or something.
>Lamia women get very hungry during pregnancy, they lay eggs and it takes 4-6 months for them to be hatched.
>Lamia women get VERY defensive after pregnancy, going so far as to wall themselves off or make a defensive entrenched position around their clutch of eggs/babies.
>Lamia eggs hatch two to three months after being born. They usually lay one egg but have a 25% chance to lay two eggs instead.
>Lamias are experts in stonecarving, polishing and waxmaking.
>Lamias houses are very well designed to take into account drainage problems, having all moisture or rain runoff directed to a massive cistern somewhere found at the very lowest level of the house.
>The Average Lamia is between 15-20 feet long, the largest and smallest being anywhere from 25 feet long or 10 feet "Small".
>Lamias weight a lot, on the low end weighing as "little" as 1100lbs to 1700lbs being the highest, with 1500lbs being average weight.
>Lamias have to eat a ton of calories (17000 Calories) in a day.
>Lamias have pointy ears and sharper than normal teeth.
>They are quite strong due to their massive form.


[02-Oct-20 08:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Wargunlock Something I wanted to mention to you about Lamia... Remembered it earlier while taking a piss, but forgot it now.


[03-Oct-20 01:35 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit about 20-30% bigger than a human? I would say so.

[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What type of guns do they like?


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And why?


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I know the rattler liked the Gatling


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But that was more the personal autism


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Idk about guns but maybe they use blowguns traditionally


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, she was certainly autistic on that front.


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Shotguns for ranching?


[03-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So maybe they'd find a way to make poisonous munitions?


[03-Oct-20 07:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh, that reminds me, we should consider Lamia venom and how that whole thing could work. Do they just not have Venom? That's fine with me, but


[03-Oct-20 07:50 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Since they're snakes it would fit


[03-Oct-20 07:50 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe only the Rattlers have venom?


[03-Oct-20 07:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, maybe, but why rattlers? That would also make handling your rattler offspring rather difficult I'd imagine.


[03-Oct-20 07:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe it's paralyzation venom more than kill-y venom.


[03-Oct-20 07:51 PM] mothman#1742
are teiflings in fanksia only red ?


[03-Oct-20 07:51 PM] mothman#1742

i need this for the doc


[03-Oct-20 07:51 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Handling offspring would be hard? Only have venom production begin once they mature


[03-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit @Bob_the_Builder what if they use this but with a poison in it? Literal snake shot

@Bob_the_Builder baby snakes of all types have venom

Even when born


[03-Oct-20 07:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What, in real life?


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
iirc yes


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
As in Anaconda babies have venom?


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
No like


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If they are venomous


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
In fact


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Unlikely to kill instantly but almost guaranteed to kill, you can't recover from a poisoned munition like you can from a bullet wound (unless you have an antidote)


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>What type of guns do they like
A good shotgun has traditionally been both a great ranch gun, *and* very cheap to initially purchase. I think maybe also cheap to shoot historically though I'm not sure on that one.


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Baby snakes are more dangerous, because instead of using a little venom they dump their entire gland into whatever they first bite


[03-Oct-20 07:53 PM] mothman#1742
baby snakes are based retards

Venom has advantages if they're a more patient kind of predator


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] mothman#1742
now that i think of it, would lamias have the fangs and the glands for venom ?


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] mothman#1742
depending on the species


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s a good point


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Do they have fangs?


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s why I was proposing the rattlers have the venom


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Poison the target and wait for it to die
Kinda like a komodo dragon but from farther away


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because most snakes aren’t venomous


[03-Oct-20 07:54 PM] mothman#1742
well other beast-people have different teeth from humans, so i would assume they do


[03-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
They can just use venom from actual snakes
Maybe they have an affinity with snakes since they're snake people themselves, maybe they have a similar odor to snakes or whatever


[03-Oct-20 07:56 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Perhaps regular lamia saliva contains an anesthetic?

Na, Harpy and I talked about that and the decision then at least was that Lamia look at them like they're really weird. Like how we might look at Monkeys or something.

Lamias prob wouldn't eat snake meat just like we don't eat monkeys (unless we're Brazilians)
But they could have snake or lizard pets


[03-Oct-20 08:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If you came across a money you’d be like “alright, monkey”


[03-Oct-20 08:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'd want to get away because it might throw it's shit at me


[03-Oct-20 08:05 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Raise snakes and extract venom


[03-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And you can imagine as a lamia where it takes time to move your snake-parts around, it might give the snake ample time to sink it's teeth into their under sides.


[03-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Pet monkeys are a thing


[03-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee.


[03-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Snakes can move and react pretty quickly


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] mothman#1742
lamias would be fucking scary in reality


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Scary but really cool


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] mothman#1742
being so big but able to move so fluidly and fast


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup.


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
And it would make sense for lamias to be poison resistant
Since many of them produce poison themselves


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like an orca


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] mothman#1742
yeah


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] mothman#1742
like an orca


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, I don't think snakes are resistant to venom despite producing it.


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Lamias would be heavy as shit


[03-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also yes, we've calculated this.


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They also need a massive amount of calories per day.


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Roughly 17,000-ish


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Would a pickup truck even be enough?


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yes.


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Though my own personal car would not.


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They weigh about 1,100-1,500


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, most elevators are only rated for like... ehhh...


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
2,000-ish pounds


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Meaning like


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also snakes aren’t immune to their own venom


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Also, are they hot or cold blooded


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
One normal sized lamia and one or two other people.


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And lots of snakes don’t have venom


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hot blooded


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like platypus


[03-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Egg laying mammal


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
The tail is hot blooded too?


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>1,100 - 1,500
I think it was higher than that, with 1,100 being fairly immature non-adult ones and such.


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yee


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yes.


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Ok


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] mothman#1742
hot blodded because they technically arent snakes, they are people with snake features


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Kinda, yeah.


[03-Oct-20 08:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>hot blodded because they technically arent snakes, they are people with snake features
@mothman  yes, people with snake features. Exactly that.


[03-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They also do the whole sunning on rocks thing, they're big fans of that. The idea is that there are several aspects of their snake heritage that are still within their lizard brains


[03-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So they dislike cold food more than humans do, they have an affinity for food that's moving, so cooked octopus and certain other things


[03-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Most of them is technically snake
You could say that they're more snake than human mass size, but they have most of what constitutes a human (abdomen, torso, head, arms and all the squishy bits inside)


[03-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So they're closer to humans than snakes I guess?


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Kinda. I mean, they do lay eggs, so


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The only human subspecies that does that are niggers


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Mostly just humans with snake "legs"
And a different reproductive method


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Like harpies I guess


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] mothman#1742
well not all snakes and reptiles lay eggs either


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
In a way, yes


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] mothman#1742
lots of snakes give live brith


[03-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And rattler lamia give live birth


[03-Oct-20 08:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Rattlers g- yeah


[03-Oct-20 08:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They're somewhat based.


[03-Oct-20 08:12 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
You'd need two dicks to pry that pussy open and that would be gay unless both dicks are yours
So snussy is homo in most cases, unless you brought a crowbar

I can’t remember which story


[03-Oct-20 08:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 08:13 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Anyways

[03-Oct-20 08:13 PM] mothman#1742

[03-Oct-20 08:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[03-Oct-20 08:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 08:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But they have it


[03-Oct-20 08:14 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Which story


[03-Oct-20 08:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In that at least. Moffman being the other side of the shitposting-coin from Overland aside, I don't think I'd want that to be the lore for these guys, even if you drop any of my lewd motivations.


[03-Oct-20 08:14 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
I don't remember lamias being written much about before


[03-Oct-20 08:14 PM] mothman#1742

I don't want to write snussy lore that deals with actual snussy
I'll leave that to more talented individuals


[03-Oct-20 08:16 PM] mothman#1742
not like you would expect at all


[03-Oct-20 08:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Right, but


[03-Oct-20 08:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
separate from the snussy itself, I'm saying.


[03-Oct-20 08:17 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Idk I was mostly talking about the use of poisons in Lamia weapons (for both hunting and war)


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
And how that would be kinda cool


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh. Maybe some of the Lamia make venom and they sell it to other Lamia who like to use it.


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Kinda like being able to print your own money, in a sense.


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or, did traditionally, anyway.


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
They would make sense despite being weird


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In the more modern era in Vietlamia where niggas have actual guns they probably care less.


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they have a natural knack for making poisons?


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Could be.


[03-Oct-20 08:18 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Yeah

[03-Oct-20 08:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh, we discussed previously that the Royal Lamias have a certain beautiful look to their scales. Very naturally shiny and lustrous, with colorations that are kind of rare, which influenced more well off non-Royal niggas to lacquer and wax their snake parts, which overall became a very big long-lasting fashion trend.


[03-Oct-20 08:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And the fucking commies from taking their bread


[03-Oct-20 08:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which, also, made them become some of the best in the world where it comes to wax making and polishing.


[03-Oct-20 08:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Howmst might that influence things in their society in ways beyond just making themselves look good?


[03-Oct-20 08:21 PM] mothman#1742
i put that on their tab in the primer


[03-Oct-20 08:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Based.


[03-Oct-20 08:22 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Flechettes either from blowguns or small crossbows would work but idk for guns
You'd need a projectile that doesn't go right through
Just coating a small caliber bullet in poison could work but you'd prob have to do it not too long before since it's on the surface of the bullet


[03-Oct-20 08:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A good depiction of Royal blooded Lamia's snake parts. Very rich color but with a deep gloss and luster to it, almost like silk.

>idk for guns
Eh, you kind of couldn't, for guns, in most cases.


[03-Oct-20 08:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they use organic projectiles that can decay in a persons body?


[03-Oct-20 08:23 PM] mothman#1742
ooooh like a dart round ?


[03-Oct-20 08:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Yeah


[03-Oct-20 08:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like bone darts


[03-Oct-20 08:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or maybe wood?


[03-Oct-20 08:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oohhhh


[03-Oct-20 08:23 PM] mothman#1742
like a flechette round

Wood that has soaked in a poison

But bone is also porous...

also gives them something to do with the fish they catch


[03-Oct-20 08:25 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Lamia are prob sadistic faggots


[03-Oct-20 08:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
B-But flechettes not made of metal are likely to break like fuck in shotshells or anything really. Traditionally I could see them doing fish bone arrows for hunting purposes fo' sho' though.


[03-Oct-20 08:25 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041

slam it around to get it to die, sorta thing.

[03-Oct-20 08:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Sadistic
That wouldn't line up with any of the other lore so far, them being really big into personal freedoms and no-step-on-snek type shit.


[03-Oct-20 08:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Just extra deadly


[03-Oct-20 08:26 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
But their paralytic poison would be seen as "humane" by them because there's no actual pain
But it's also agonizing in the way that it's slow and slowly creeps through your body, disabling it piece by piece until you suffocate


[03-Oct-20 08:27 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
But they think it's humane


[03-Oct-20 08:27 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Because it's painless, right?


[03-Oct-20 08:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, that depends if it's strong enough to kill. I was thinking it would be something they dose a large enemy with and then go to cut it's neck


[03-Oct-20 08:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
^^^^


[03-Oct-20 08:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 08:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I mean hell I say large enemy but, really, it'd be a large beast. We still haven't talked about the prior lore about Asia having unironic dino's, Harpy-kun.


[03-Oct-20 08:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[03-Oct-20 08:30 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Typically not


[03-Oct-20 08:30 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
iirc


[03-Oct-20 08:30 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
You have to cut out the area around the poison


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, that's modern poison though I assume. Maybe this botanical shit is more forgiving.


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hopefully in their case


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also if the numbness spreads to the entire body how would cutting out the impact area make shit fine?


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Probably
Maybe it's an enzyme of sorts or a fragile molecule that denatures over 60C


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Our version of they poison at least


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe they have very special hunting poison for that very purpose.


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[03-Oct-20 08:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

At any rate, historically before guns the Lamia had poison to help deal with the giant Dinosaur nigger threat. Great way to get the dinos to simmer down to make the fighting easier, or to full on take them down and then slice open their throat.


[03-Oct-20 08:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Maybe it's made from a turbonigger version of pineapple


[03-Oct-20 08:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe it just knocks the Dino the fuck out?


[03-Oct-20 08:35 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
It contains an enzyme that tenderizes meat, but irl it's too slow to be effective on living things


[03-Oct-20 08:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Yee maybe. I was thinking it'd require skillful use to get the poison deep enough in the dino hide to do anything, so hunting dinos would still be dangerous, and you'd occasionally lose Lamia while hunting.

something like that would make sense
the vietlamias tranq the dinos
then slice them up while they sleep
causing a cultural connotation with extreme paranoia to come with drugs or food that helps you sleep

It might have some early traditional bearing. Putting the idea of sleeping after big meals into their culture. That being said, idunno.

So, Lamia take roughly 9 months to have kids, same as humans, more or less. A bunch of months with the egg inside the wife, and several months with the egg being incubated.


[03-Oct-20 08:47 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
At that point he can't back down because of sunk cost
If he went to sleep he def wouldn't wake up for months and prob starve or get killed in his sleep

Anyway uh, so snake pregnancy. 6 months with the egg inside, 3 months guarding the egg because being snake-pregnant makes you fucking crazy. Probably about human norm' for the amount of pregnancies practically doable through their lifespans. They're more likely to have a clutch of eggs than humans are to have 2 or more children, but they aren't *that* much more likely.

Maybe the parents work the shells into something important and every-day for themselves. A good luck charm of sorts.

@Cactus Steve i'll have to read that, the differences and complications of crossbreeds interests me a lot, like how they work and shit

Maybe a... sort of uhm. Hexagon-topped box where they rotate this nob on the top and cycle through pictures of all their snake children


[03-Oct-20 08:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
with shining bits of their shell affixed underneath


[03-Oct-20 09:00 PM] Coastie#3790
Glue the shells bacl together and make them into lamps


[03-Oct-20 09:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oooh.


[03-Oct-20 09:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That takes a lot of shell material, is the thing, but I imagine some of the uhhh

Well, when shells dry out they get hard and brittle.


[03-Oct-20 09:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If a Lamia woman dies giving birth somehow, she's either held until the Child is born and buried with the shell, or her grave is dug up and the shell put in with her once the baby is born from the shell.


[03-Oct-20 09:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If a baby dies *in* the shell, the entire shell is buried as one unit.

I think the mixed race issue is best left ignored and that goes for most species
The only exception I see is half elves, half dwarves, quarterlings and maybe half orcs
It's better not to think of the product of unions between humans and half-beast species
That doesn't mean that can't happen or shouldn't be done in stories, just that it's too much of a can of worms for general lore writing

>hard and brittle
Yup, but Lamias are absolute masters of waxes and polishing. If anybody could polish and then delicately suspend the shell somewhere, it'd be them.


[03-Oct-20 09:01 PM] mothman#1742
well i assumed with some its a 50/50 chance its either, and not a half


[03-Oct-20 09:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Plus, they're great with lacquers, some of which are prolly quite protective


[03-Oct-20 09:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

@Bob_the_Builder also i think the half thing works with elves, dwarves, orcs, etc because they are a lot closer to humans than say a harpy, or a lamia. much more similar biology


[03-Oct-20 09:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 09:04 PM] mothman#1742
how ?


[03-Oct-20 09:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but that the snake aspects and the general larger size of the human half would remain, mostly.


[03-Oct-20 09:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said it's important that something like that be left open ended so writers can make their own decisions for certain shit like that.


[03-Oct-20 09:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Harpy and I for instance have only worked on like, Vietlamia Lamia, and North American Lamia to a much lesser extent.

actually the halfbreed thing works great since its kind of a mutation, not every one would be the same

So, for those of you unaware, the Vietlamia have a demigod King, of sorts.


[03-Oct-20 09:07 PM] mothman#1742
we use the term manlet around here


[03-Oct-20 09:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Kinda sorta like the Japs had but there's actual basis in the case of the Lamia, as well as a meaningful magical and genetic difference between true Royals and what amounts to Peasants.


[03-Oct-20 09:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, it'd be interesting if one of the Kings was really fond of Children, and had a sort of egg depository thing. Parents would break off chunks of their kid's shell, the rich ones would inscribe and maybe then even gild the information on the child on the shell, the poor-ass niggas would just send along a written note, and the whole thing would be deposited in one of many hundreds of thousands of boxes.

found it

"on the topic of genetics and phylogeny (yes, I had to google that), RWBY has the right idea, and my story is going with a similar idea
if a dogboy bangs a catgirl, the kid will be a cat, the species is always the mother's, however, secondary traits, such as hair color, eye color, metabolism, etc, can be inherited from the father

but if say, one form of cat, like a tigergirl bangs another kind of cat, like a bobcatboy, then you get a hybrid, like a Liger or a Golden Husky

and humans are the blank slate of all this
for example, if a human female bangs a harpy dude, or vice-versa, the kid might be a regular harpy or they might just wind up a baseline human, or any of the potential combinations in between
no cloaca though
get out of here, stalker"

I would also like to add tieflings to the human-mutation anomaly
since their adaption comes from infernal DNA instead of regular arcane shenanigans

hellhounds are descended from tieflings who had a taste for caninefolks

We're talking mostly like, lore for early Lamias, lore for directly after Konvergence, and specifically because of my own needs Lamia diaspora in the American South West.

[03-Oct-20 09:22 PM] Coastie#3790
Easy fix, have the snake half DNA be equal part dominant as human legs, but both sets of DNA are exclusive. Meaning they cant have two snake tails as legs or one giant human foot

[03-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Whoa, high tech. What are your feelings on our conclusions for their culture, in relation to the whole no-step-on-snake thing


[03-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Really pro personal freedoms deal'.


[03-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I feel like the lines of culture and instinct would be a bit mixed after a point


[03-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What started as instinct easily adapts its way into culture


[03-Oct-20 10:10 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And what was culture quickly became instinct


[03-Oct-20 10:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>became instinct
Eh, normally I'd say that sounds kinda unbelievable but these were literally man-or-other-creature-made beings, so


[03-Oct-20 10:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How do you imagine them to act in person, generally? The Vietlamia ones that don't really have any human culture in'm.


[03-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[03-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Open and friendly towards family


[03-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Very comfortable


[03-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But very distant towards outsiders


[03-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And, for that matter, how often do they see other people who aren't neighbors at the regional dances, or people delivering things the family ordered, or people who know the family and are bartering with them from quite a ways away.


[03-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What does very distant actually mean? How's that manifest in their lives?


[03-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They’d probably talk with neighbors no problem at the dances


[03-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Strangers and outsiders not from the area maybe not


[03-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Delivery people and foreign workers probably get the same cursory neighbor treatment out of fair politeness


[03-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, but what's that mean? Would they feel... nervous? Scared? Is it a situation where every Lamia is told about how you should never trust outsiders, etc etc? Or is this merely a product of them almost never meeting outsiders, that makes them so .... distanced from them.


[03-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not nervous


[03-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More weary


[03-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[03-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The same weary you get when the delivery man shows up a little too late at night


[03-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also probably from the ingrained culture of “no step on snek”


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So, do they actually teach young Lamia a bunch of shit about never trusting people you don't know, and don't have some association with? I guess that'd just be the answer then.


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not taught


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Well


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not directly taught


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More learned by seeing their parents do it


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Who learned from their parents


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How would it work if you met a Lamia girl online and made friends with her and then she invited you to her family's land? What hoops would she need to jump through for her parents to allow that, and how would you be welcomed?


[03-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Who got it from the grandparents


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And so forth


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Welll


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, you're saying there's no uhhhh like. Fairy tale shits or general stories with morals of "Don't trust strangers"


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If she trusted you enough to take you to their land


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It most likely would be that she knew you very well


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And most likely has communicated to her parents about you


[03-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
There might be one or two stories


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe stories of how monsters came from outside and destroyed the farms of some lamia


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But no very on the nose stuff


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would it be a deal where the parents would trust her, because >Lamia Culture<, to have vetted you thoroughly before even imagining making this suggestion?


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And therefor assume she's done all the *leg*work so far on this,


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I would think so


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
or would they want to sus it out themselves


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Both


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sure our daughter thinks he’s nice


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Let’s see for ourselves


[03-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe meet him somewhere off the property


[03-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>one or two
Eh, most of the time when a culture is a certain way, they've got stories about that. Like how Chinks have shitloads of stories about niggas getting rich by tricking gods and shit, tricking other people, etc


[03-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Coastie#3790
Stories of outsiders doing harm, shapeshifter stealing people and things.

[03-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Bodysnatchers who steal a lamias body, and use it to steal their neighbors supplies and food


[03-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, either this is a completely unspoken cultural thing, or a cultural thing that's intentinoally perpetrated which there's nothin' wrong with that, or it's natural.


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also goes into neighbor distrust


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The second seems the most realistic.


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A mix of the two


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine they've got a story about how like...


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Kind of unspoken, but there is something about it that works well


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
a Trickster Oni dragged a log behind itself, got onto Lamia land, got into their store houses and stole the food, and then walked back over the land border to their neighbor's, sparking a big fight


[03-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but in reality it was just Oni-kun being a nigger


[03-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and the moral is always to look before you leap, because in the end both neighbors suffered and the Oni came out of it both unpunished *and* with easier picking grounds later.


[03-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and/or less people hunting for it in the jungles.


[03-Oct-20 10:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So it'd just be lamia common sense not to be retarded and let an unvetted stranger into the heart of their family's estate for instance.


[03-Oct-20 10:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh, the point being, the log-dragging looks like lamia prints.


[03-Oct-20 10:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or... Print, as it were.


[03-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s smart of the Oni to do


[03-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, so how would Lamia merchants work, really? You can't just be a Merchant only in your own back yard. Or, well, you can, but people elsewhere need to buy things too, after all. So how does that work?


[03-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also I like this as an idea for a local myth/legend/fairy tale


[03-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[03-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
You’re giant wicker basket idea


[03-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably pulled by water buffalo


[03-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Might be a smaller lamia, not much physical strength


[03-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yes. The water buffalo have enough problems hauling 1,500 pounds of snussy without needing the extra weight of heavy ass wagon flooring


[03-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, the Lamia aren't very open to strangers at all, so how does a Merchant set up a trading route? Logically, many of the Lamia estates he would come upon would look upon him with much distrust, isn't that right?


[03-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe about four of them?


[03-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Good point


[03-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Merchant families?


[03-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Trusted merchant names?


[03-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Stamp of approval from the leaders of the communities?


[03-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, maybe. Though a lot of the time, as we discussed, Lamia in general but especially Lamia patriarchs don't trust corporations or big government or any such thing. Maybe they can be partly tricked by a name brand, so they've got a lot of brand loyalty, just like fucking boomers


[03-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"oh, Anon, stop the cart. That toaster there, I remember that brand from when I was just a young man. Get that one, it's the best one here!"


[03-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
when in reality that brand had changed hands 10 times in 20 years and was junk.


[03-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
(this is what shopping with boomers is like, zoomers.)


[03-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh,


[03-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ah yes, that

Brand loyalty

O gather here and let me tale you a tail.
About a creature who moved on arms instead of a tail.
It came in the morning one day it did.
It was such a strange sight, the village did gather.
Ah'd and oh'd they did at this thing 
Show it their homes, show it their hearths. 
And when night finally came they bid it farewell.
It then crept into their homes quiet as a snail.
And slit their purses one after another

It's supposed to rime but the translation is wonky

Lamia much prefer person-to-person things. That's how they gain trust, which is why Merchants doing their jobs for long term is important. There might be some uhm, grandfathered trust for like, father son operations and such, and sometimes with family traders but


[03-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, you imagine he has a load of X and he wants to travel up this road and visit 100 Lamia estates over the course of a month or two. Howmst does first contact work in Lamia society?


[03-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would it be big on uh... What's the word.


[03-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Meeting-Gifts? There's a better word for it than that.


[03-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I thought about Meetnig-Gifts being door-openers, as it were,


[03-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Definitely the family business thing


[03-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Doing business for years and years


[03-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and also a very extensive voucher system. Your neighbor vouches for you to his neighbor, that neighbor vouches for you to his neighbor 10 miles down the road, that neighbor vouches for you to *his* neighbor across the lake, etc etc etc.


[03-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
As for initial contact that would be tough, and could take a lot of planning on the merchants part


[03-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But once they have a customer, they have a customer for life


[03-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So a nigga would have to give all'a these niggas gifts, do business with all of them in an Upright way, as it were, and gain the trust of each fuckin' family to at least some small extent so that the next family down the line would even consider doing business.


[03-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe first the merchant goes to the local leader/priest/sheriff/head snek etc


[03-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Gets their permission to do business


[03-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then that spreads word around


[03-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they get their signature


[03-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Imagine a Lamia sticking his head through a hatch in a large door. "Ehh? Scrubbers? Do we know you? ...No? [socially acceptable amount of dead air, waiting for the merchant to offer a bribe-gift, which he does not do] Get lost."


[03-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, I was thinking Permission, but it's too much like a license.


[03-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Coastie#3790
Maybe the merchant families know each other and trade to trade with their different trade routes? Smerchant 1 has done business in region X while Smerchant 2 does business in region Y. These two merchants, if they want to do trading in the others are have to trade with each other because the locals in the region's wouldn't trust them?


[03-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The Sheriff is the most-liked snake but the idea is that he's a willing public servant of sorts, not a ruler unto himself.

Yes

[03-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So if he is the most liked snek


[03-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Certainly the smerchent he approved is good


[03-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And yes


[03-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like the term Smerchent


[03-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's based.

Eh, maybe. Depends if the Sheriff is actually properly known and liked by all the families.


[03-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They don't, but I was thinking about the idea.


[03-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What do you guys think of the meeting-gift idea? That's a thing in many cultures, right? Howmst would that work in Lamia culture for merchant niggas? Really, these Merchant niggas would view these first contact situations like investments. The merchants aren't selling goods, in those instances, they're buying trust.


[03-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Coastie#3790
Another question, since they have sharper teeth, as in pointed to some extent, would that make it more or less difficult to form certain sounds and syllables?


[03-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mm, well, the idea is they have human teeth but on the sharper and pointier side of human norm, and then the canines in particular just a little pointier than said norms.


[03-Oct-20 10:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
One thing we didn't talk much about was their heat vision thing. Lamia *do* have snake tongues, don't they @Battlebrothermichael 


[03-Oct-20 10:47 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A meeting gift might be a good idea


[03-Oct-20 10:47 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe the quality of the gift is judged?


[03-Oct-20 10:47 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[03-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If it is too high of quality, they might consider it that they are trying to be bought over


[03-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Coastie#3790
Infrared pits near/under their eyes?


[03-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ooh, yeah.


[03-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But if the gift is too low quality it’s looked at that you are purposely trying to lowball them to get their pity


[03-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Has to be just right


[03-Oct-20 10:49 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And maybe the practicality of the gift as well?


[03-Oct-20 10:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Very subtle dance, Lamia culture is in that way. Too shitty of a gift reflects bad on the gift giver in the usual way, they're small time, perhaps they're poor, perhaps they're here to try to case the joint and take out wealth, oh no,

@Coastie I’d think they would have a decent heat vision from the little pits, maybe just “feel” when things are warmer from a good distance.

[03-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm. Is their sense of smell especially powerful?


[03-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The heat “vision” and the smell thing are different organs

[03-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Snake smelling is unique


[03-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They don’t use their nose


[03-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They use some other organ


[03-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A lot like an Indian. Hm.


[03-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think it’s the mouth organ you said


[03-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Coastie#3790
Nose is for air
Tongue is for finding prey


[03-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, infrared pit pill me. How big are these things, where would they be located on the Lamia?

Maybe the Smerchants bring “exotic” goods


[03-Oct-20 10:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Smerchent shows up at the door
>says he has an amazing treasure
>an electric heating lamp and a microwave oven


[03-Oct-20 10:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>both are bought at 3x market value


[03-Oct-20 10:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe that, or specialized goods. You can't expect every Lamia estate to have good quality black smiths. Or, for instance, iron ore or coal to harvest.


[03-Oct-20 10:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Modern Smerchents would definitely bring guns and the like


[03-Oct-20 10:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Things like mirrors... Stones meant for high quality sharpening, which is vital to shave


[03-Oct-20 10:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
HEY

[03-Oct-20 10:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I bet those would sell like crazy in the early days.


[03-Oct-20 10:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, does this mean that Smerchents are the type'a niggas who are more open compared to the average peasant Lamia?

Maybe there's a folk tale about a merchant who lived in a pot that would walk from place to place, and only certain family patriarchs knew to play a flute in a certain tune for the merchant to open the pot lid and sell the Lamia his exotic and mystical goods.


[03-Oct-20 11:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
HAH


[03-Oct-20 11:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

(Depending on the betrayal)


[03-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Probably. The betrayal would probably cut especially deep.


[03-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

How common is Betrayal amongst Lamia? Less than betrayal amongst other races?


[03-Oct-20 11:05 PM] Coastie#3790
A lot of cultures practiced tbat


[03-Oct-20 11:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit close to none because traitors probably get the most severe punishment


[03-Oct-20 11:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, but giving out trust as a Lamia is a huge deal. They don't give that for no reason.


[03-Oct-20 11:06 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Treachery is the lowest pit of hell after all


[03-Oct-20 11:06 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Eh, not so much that


[03-Oct-20 11:06 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Treachery and betrayal would be one of those crimes

Like, just, freedom of movement is a big deal. Imprisonment is viewed very very poorly by the Lamia.

But uh, like, they don't really have Jails most times. There's monetary compensation/punishment, and then there's maybe.... A deal where the family that the Lamia belongs to either pays for his crime in grain, or they have to disown him.


[03-Oct-20 11:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and some crimes, physical punishment gets on the table,


[03-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and then more extreme crimes, house arrest


[03-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and then it's either imprisonment or death.


[03-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

>just short of critical

Shit, that'd be just short of the shit-hole


[03-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A lot of crime though would be punished with reimbursing the injured party in either food valuables or labor, or some sort of physical punishment. A couple beatings maybe, a lashing maybe, something.


[03-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Blackhawk342#0955
That seems harsh


[03-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe the beatings could also happen at any time within a year's time of the sentencing, done by the injured party and any whom he decides to bring with him. And it goes until blood is drawn with fist.


[03-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, we're talking a big crime here.


[03-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Blackhawk342#0955
Their society revolves around promises and trust right?


[03-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 11:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 11:14 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[03-Oct-20 11:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I mean, there's the families disowning them thing, as an option if they either can't or don't want to pay the grain debt of their crimes.

Well that's the thing, personal freedoms are huge for Lamia, and their families are everything basically. The family can throw it's own out if it's inclined, but I feel like the people would view the Government stepping in to make that decision for them quite poorly.


[03-Oct-20 11:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Like that’s punishment enough?


[03-Oct-20 11:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If it can’t be resolved straight away person to person, and the authorities have to get involved, then that means they really fucked up


[03-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, maybe. I think punishments would be a lot of debts and a lot of the injured party being given beating-rights, and is allowed to hire or otherwise obtain anyone he needs to help with that beating. Though that brings in the personal freedoms of the family as a whole. Is it right for them to be disallowed from stopping the injured party from going onto their land to get their justice done?


[03-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[03-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Infringement is a big thing to them


[03-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s why I say more house arrest


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or being forced to move away from their family


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where they can still exercise their rights


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But elsewhere, where they can’t harm others


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
yee. House arrest I could see as being acceptable mostly, but being forced off your own land, in effect? Feels iffy.


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Land and property rights and laws are probably one of the biggest things in Lamia law.


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Exactly


[03-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hence why that could be one of the most major punishments


[03-Oct-20 11:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's the thing, I think they'd view that on the level with death. What is a Lamia without a family, and without land?


[03-Oct-20 11:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe Lamia that end up like that turn to ever-wandering merchants.


[03-Oct-20 11:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They do business, they pay to get their cart repaired by the Lamia who know how to do that, they of course are able to stay herea nd there when that happens. Some Lamia families are probably happy enough to rent out rooms to them, but no Lamia is his family.


[03-Oct-20 11:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Unless he marries into another family.


[03-Oct-20 11:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which... hell... I'm not sure how that would work with a male. Maybe it's a two way street? Where a male *could* marry into a family, but usually doesn't?


[03-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But in doing so he'll be freed from his punishment. The freeing would be incredibly difficult to obtain of course, though, and Lamia don't do that fake marriage bullshit either


[03-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
that shit's important.


[03-Oct-20 11:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But then, would a family even agree to marry in a wandering family-less merchant like that? Oof.


[03-Oct-20 11:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
At any rate, how would being a visitor to Vietlamia work? In the modern day with Tourism being a thing is one thing, but I mean before they've modernized. You'd be a major curiosity which might get you some good will, but would nobody deal with you unless you gave them a meeting gift? Maybe agreed to work on their farm for room and board and walk around the general area until you've got their trust?


[03-Oct-20 11:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>But then, would a family even agree to marry in a wandering family-less merchant like that? Oof.
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit  and the wandering outcast lamia will wonder all of this. The thought of that alone makes any lamia think twice before doing something stupid.


[03-Oct-20 11:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[03-Oct-20 11:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine most sentenced to this would consider suicide.


[03-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I don’t think they’d let anyone work on their farm unless they trusted them


[03-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think though


[03-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
All that being said, would Lamias even normally demand to know where another's from, if they weren't a family they already knew? "What family are you from" "Ah, I was born to a family XYZ distance away from here, you wouldn't know them." "Oh." "Here's a gift, please buy some scrub brushes"


[03-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia would have a good sense of a persons character


[03-Oct-20 11:30 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because they could smell nervousness or fear


[03-Oct-20 11:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Does that work on other lamia too? Meaning if a Lamia is gonna lie, he's gotta be a good liar?


[03-Oct-20 11:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or is it customary to not talk to strangers from that close up


[03-Oct-20 11:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
to where they're too far to have that gauged


[03-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine it's much harder for them to smell that in rain, and there's proverbs and bullshit like that about not trusting a man on a rainy day.


[03-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"Listen, SJohnathan, I'd like to help you here bud but you trusted a merchant on a rainy day, okay? What am I supposed to do for you?"


[03-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
so, a saying too, maybe.


[03-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s a good point


[03-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And yes it would work on other lamia


[03-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also yes I like that rain analogy


[03-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s perfect


[03-Oct-20 11:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>don't think they'd let anyone work on their farm unless they trusted them
Yeah, maybe. Though again that creates a huge problem then, how does a foreigner ever ingratiate himself to the locals? With Merchants, it's probably quite customary for Lamia to ... at least be *open* to the merchant's attempts at making trust


[03-Oct-20 11:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But to someone who isn't a merchant and isn't a neighbor, I imagine they'd be more.. not necessarily closed off, but confused, perhaps. Wary, maybe, because it's somewhat odd.


[03-Oct-20 11:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also backing up, maybe the uh, exile punishment could be viewed sometimes as more extreme than just being sentenced to death, because it's expected that the Lamia will either die by his own hand, or be killed by some gruesome thing in the wilderness.


[03-Oct-20 11:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In some sense, it's almost like ||death by Freedom||

[03-Oct-20 11:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How would Merchant philosophy work? Also... who are Lamia merchants? Their lives are antithetical to Lamia culture.


[03-Oct-20 11:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They go out of their way to stick their noses in people's doors. They are forced to see new faces almost every day, they live a life amongst people who are not their own.


[03-Oct-20 11:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Merchants would already be a bit of an outsider


[03-Oct-20 11:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A good Merchant is one who can make a profit on the second visit to a new buyer(Lamia estate).


[03-Oct-20 11:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I feel like that would be a, uh, truism. Especially among merchants.


[03-Oct-20 11:45 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Truism?


[03-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A .. kind of pointless saying, in a sense


[03-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A statement that is said even though it says nothing new.


[03-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"It's a good hunter that can bag 5 deer with 5 shots"


[03-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That kinda statement.


[03-Oct-20 11:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Something that almost sounds like a deep metaphor despite not being so.


[03-Oct-20 11:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, merchants are experts at being the outsider. Would that mean they're interested in helping outsiders?


[03-Oct-20 11:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, how did shops and things like that work for Lamia before the Konvergence? How did Inns work? Your whole family would be either on this, er, family estate, or be one one of the many within the surrounding 10 or 20 miles, for the majority of Lamia


[03-Oct-20 11:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Your friends are the neighbors


[03-Oct-20 11:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
You don't commute to work, except when it comes to hunting or fishing or the rare situation where you're a miner or forester, etc.


[03-Oct-20 11:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe it's common for a Lamia estate that actually makes something that the other estates either can't or won't make to set up normal ass shops to service the Lamia of the whole area. A blacksmith lamia who is especially skilled and makes eating utensils or some shit. Positions his shop near the main road, so Lamia just walk on over to purchase things from him instead of making it into a huge deal.


[03-Oct-20 11:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’m thinking that lamia wouldn’t have much need for inns


[03-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It would be more “oh, I’ll just stay with family in this area”


[03-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or


[03-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Why are they even traveling off their land to begin with?”


[03-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I also think having a shop near a main road would be of value to those lamia


[03-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or


[03-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Selling their items to the Smerchents


[04-Oct-20 12:00 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, all good options. Whymst *would* Lamia travel off their land if not on official God-King mandated business or Smerchanting.


[04-Oct-20 12:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Workers traveling to an uninhabited area to go mining there... Or going to a mountain to mine that the Lamia in the area don't do themselves for some reason. Though in those cases you would think the Lamia would just make long-term arrangements with a local Lamia estate. And if there were no local Lamia estate, whomst in the h*ck would offer them lodging anyway?


[04-Oct-20 12:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sort of an isolationist people, huh?


[04-Oct-20 12:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’m saying yeah


[04-Oct-20 12:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not full isolation


[04-Oct-20 12:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But closer to it


[04-Oct-20 12:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I could see certain Lamia estates offering Inn services in certain super high traffic areas.


[04-Oct-20 12:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe the capital, for Lamia traveling there on important business who don't have the months and months needed to make arrangements the normal way ahead of time, gotta get there now


[04-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And.. maybe Smerchants stuck in inclement weather. So an Inn specifically to service merchants every half-day's travel. But even that, oof.


[04-Oct-20 12:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia society really seems built around a shitload of manual labor, huh? Gotta walk super far to *maybe* get an inn. Farms are really important and are all pretty labor intensive.


[04-Oct-20 12:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah


[04-Oct-20 12:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Shitloads of manual labor


[04-Oct-20 12:16 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Doing anything that isn’t at your home or chunk of land would be a headache


[04-Oct-20 12:16 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And would take a great amount of effort


[04-Oct-20 12:16 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
However, they are big


[04-Oct-20 12:16 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And faster


[04-Oct-20 12:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So for a human it would be awful


[04-Oct-20 12:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But maybe not as bad for a lamia?


[04-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mm, faster, but I wonder if that would tire them out more, being less efficient than walking is, presumably.


[04-Oct-20 12:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Unless they do take carts


[04-Oct-20 12:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or


[04-Oct-20 12:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ride the dinosaurs


[04-Oct-20 12:21 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
At some point, now or later, we should discuss how formidable they actually are.


[04-Oct-20 12:22 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Well


[04-Oct-20 12:22 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If Sam survived a mag dump


[04-Oct-20 12:22 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think they are pretty tough


[04-Oct-20 12:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oooh. Big lizards arent as aesthetic, odd as this is to say, as water buffalo tho


[04-Oct-20 12:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm... I suppose they have an absolute shitload more blood, right?


[04-Oct-20 12:24 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
To me, that necessitates also a stronger heart to pump that blood. Maybe means it takws a while longer for them to bleed out from the same wound.


[04-Oct-20 12:25 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, their snake parts. How much of their literal weight could they throw around? How much of a weapon is their tail?


[04-Oct-20 12:25 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah, the aesthetic isn’t there


[04-Oct-20 12:25 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Unless


[04-Oct-20 12:25 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Reptilian water buffalo


[04-Oct-20 12:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And yes


[04-Oct-20 12:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Shitload of blood


[04-Oct-20 12:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
As for the snake parts, probably a fuckton


[04-Oct-20 12:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Could do the complete standing up


[04-Oct-20 12:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Tail whipping


[04-Oct-20 12:26 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
All those things


[04-Oct-20 12:27 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Tail whipping seems deadly. Say it's as little as 1/5th of their weight, that's still what, 300 - 350 pounds of meat headed your way, fast.

{Reactions}
itstime (3) 

[04-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, Lamia are sort of pack animals themselves, 'seems. I imagine they couldn't hold the same percentage increase of their weight in gear as we could, but it'd still be a lot.


[04-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Tail whipping seems deadly. Say it's as little as 1/5th of their weight, that's still what, 300 - 350 pounds of meat headed your way, fast.
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit  exactly :itstime:


[04-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And now that you mention this


[04-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[04-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They are like pack animals


[04-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Huh


[04-Oct-20 12:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I can't imagine theyd actually be able to keep moving while really loaded down like niggas with'mst legs can


[04-Oct-20 12:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Buutt... Thats still something


[04-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamias would probably have beasts of burden follow them carrying stuff


[04-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe carry a little bit but not much


[04-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Well


[04-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Relatively


[04-Oct-20 12:34 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee. A grown Lamia could probably carry an adult man pretty easily, but anything more and it becomes a strain.


[04-Oct-20 12:34 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That is, carry him on their snake parts.


[04-Oct-20 12:35 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Their human parts are strong but maybe not *that* strong.


[04-Oct-20 12:35 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Carrying a heavy load in a backpack vs in your hands, kinda thing.


[04-Oct-20 12:40 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also I've been talking about Lamia matriarchs and patriarchs, but how many Lamia would actually be in a Lamia estate? I suplose the answer is Many, but how much is that? I imaginr these are really huge tracks of land, with many Lamia in them. Small ish villages in a sense, maybe.


[04-Oct-20 12:43 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's not like these are 5 snakes living in a hut, after all.


[04-Oct-20 12:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[04-Oct-20 12:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a few generations


[04-Oct-20 12:53 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The grandparents


[04-Oct-20 12:54 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The children, plus their husbands or wives


[04-Oct-20 12:54 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Their kids


[04-Oct-20 12:54 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe some family friends


[04-Oct-20 12:54 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia estates are probably big


[04-Oct-20 12:56 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe around 10-15 lamias can live on one


[04-Oct-20 12:56 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
At least


[04-Oct-20 01:01 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Quite big, yee. When you account pre-konvergence mortality rates for huntjng and general dinosaur memeing, I imagine a fair amount of young people with lesser amounts of old. Prolly just a deal where the older snakes chose one snake to be the matriarch or patriarch. 15 Lamia being the low end, maybe a couple hunnid' being the high end in most cases, though I imagine those might be merchant types.


[04-Oct-20 01:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And those would fill an entire clay mountain


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or several


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee.


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hell, their estate might be like it’s own mini-village


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinking Lamia estates normally have a big farm, probably quitw often a fish pond, especially if theyre far ish from rivers.


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee.


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Damn


[04-Oct-20 01:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I want to live on a lamia estate now


[04-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Though having that many snakes might prompt aome to split off


[04-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Same, sounds based.


[04-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like the idea of a fish pond if they don’t have a river flooding through it


[04-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I wanna figure out what kinda surface buildings theyd have and why.


[04-Oct-20 01:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Cook houses maybe, for the bigger Estates especially


[04-Oct-20 01:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Where two or three Lamia might spend most of their working hours making food for the Estate's one big ass meal.


[04-Oct-20 01:06 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
On one hand the tunnels are very safe-feeling, which is appealing, as well as being very very cheap comparatively. When you need a lot of room *and* have a lot of snakes, cheap becomes essential.


[04-Oct-20 01:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Store houses for their harvests.


[04-Oct-20 01:08 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Workshops for whatever work their people do. Wood carving, blacksmithing, pottery, etc.


[04-Oct-20 01:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[04-Oct-20 01:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe raised sheds for wood and dry goods?


[04-Oct-20 01:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Keep them from getting flooded/rodents


[04-Oct-20 01:11 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I wonder if they would prefer to live up there at all though. I was thinking french plantation house style structures


[04-Oct-20 01:11 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Whatever french plantation house means


[04-Oct-20 01:12 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Prefer to live up where?


[04-Oct-20 01:12 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Raised houses?


[04-Oct-20 01:12 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably not, because it would be **HELL** getting a raised house strong enough to support the weight of a single Lamia, let alone a full family


[04-Oct-20 01:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think the lamias would be good with pottery


[04-Oct-20 01:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or at least with blasting clay In Furnaces


[04-Oct-20 01:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they could make certain houses out of bricks from the dig up clay from their houses?


[04-Oct-20 01:16 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Prefer to live on the surface instead of in the caves


[04-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Easier to dig out a mountain than get the material to build a house I guess


[04-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Natural instinct


[04-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The caves are cheap *and* fairly safe, both instinctually since >snek< but also logically. If everything has melee you can defend a single-file corridor prettt damn well


[04-Oct-20 01:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oh definitely


[04-Oct-20 01:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Especially if you have the full strength of a snek


[04-Oct-20 01:20 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Buuut... Surface houses *are* pretty nice. Roomy, airy, lots of natural light opportunities. Dryer quicker.


[04-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they could have a surface house for relaxing in the day?


[04-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But the main houses are underground?


[04-Oct-20 01:22 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe Lamia have their main show-off rooms up top. Dining hall that also works as a dance room for events and holidays, temples to their snake god and their King, maybe the residences of the important niggas like the Patriarch and shit. Niggas who got more shit to show off.


[04-Oct-20 01:22 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Main family dining hall?


[04-Oct-20 01:22 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’m cool with that


[04-Oct-20 01:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmhmm. Close to / part of the cook house.


[04-Oct-20 01:24 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If there's flooding they mkght stay up there, though after hundreds of generations theyre prolly quite good at building their tunnels as flood resistant as possible.


[04-Oct-20 01:26 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine all their wars are either defensive, or holy crusades declared by their King, and otherwise shits mostly them vs fauna.


[04-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How reluctant would they be toward contracting outsiders? Say they wanted their tile walkways replaced - a big fuckin' job all things considered - and they didnt have a tile guy. Send wors through Merchants, have the merchants vouch for both sides, and then go through the complicated snake autism of gaining eachother's trust?


[04-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Driskoll#6334
And how might a certain Anon sell them weapons?


[04-Oct-20 02:46 AM] Blackhawk342#0955
through a lamia medium who
-doesnt care about the societal damnation resulting from said interaction with an outside
-has enough power/purpose to make it not socially damning
-uses cunning and guile to do it in secret


[04-Oct-20 08:47 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>societal damnation from interacting with the outside
Nowthat you mention it, I suppose other Lamia might look down on individuals who are to free and open with who and how quickly they make friends. Not necessarily societal damnation, but rather just thinking they're somewhat foolish.


[04-Oct-20 08:49 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Regardless of the fact that it's untrue, the common Lamia probably looks at Merchants as quite daring at best, or as a daredevil who will get himself stolen from or killed at worst.

[04-Oct-20 10:47 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Given the insular and distrustful nature of Lamia, how would they view books? With suspicion? Assuming literacy was even common for them pre konvergence. Maybe they would only trust it's contents either after much deliberation and review of it, or more likely, they wouldn't buy it unless a trusted merchant or other associate or relation of theirs vouched for it.


[04-Oct-20 10:48 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And speaking of, Lamia not generally being very trusting, especially toward outright outsiders, is another layer of rationale behind Samantha Ekans being a sheriff @Battlebrothermichael
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fucking Kevin Goddamnit10/04/2020
Anyway uh, I feel that most Lamia estates don't have dedicated merchants, and that tgere are merchant families here and there that do the bulk of non-neighborbood trading
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[04-Oct-20 12:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Alright well, I imagine they turn that rather common national skill into fairly common baubles and trinkets. They probably produce mirrors in their low-tech tribal industry fashion much more than most, if not all, other races do. I imagined most metal bowls have a high polish to them when they're new. I imagine their polishing and lacquer making skills translate very well to wood finishing, so they might be better at that than many races.


[04-Oct-20 12:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine hanging hollow brass balls shined to a very very high polish, to the point where they're reflective, above doorways might be common. A not-that-expensive piece of unmatched beauty in a world otherwise dominated by rampant animals and nearly-unchecked creeping jungle vegetation.


[04-Oct-20 12:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Brass, copper, maybe even tin, really, if they have sources of tin.


[04-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Do Lamia farm


[04-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
I could use this in my main story
have Dooser to have been cast out of his village for being TOO much of a hustler
he wandered for a few days, got picked up by the succubus fertility cult, ran off, fast forward about 4 years, he winds up on Earth
once BC and the gang get to Fankasia, they pass through his old village
villagers recognize D and tell them all to get fucked
violent action may ensue


[04-Oct-20 12:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I want to turn a Lamia farm girl into a snake factory tbh


[04-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Once I get her she'll never wear shoes again.

[04-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Or is their Jurassic Park version of Vietnam more like the Amazon in the sense that it would be fertile as fuck but would quickly get depleted if farmed


[04-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, kinda.


[04-Oct-20 12:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well, no


[04-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like, Vietnam's farm lands IRL are REALLLLY fertile specifically because of seasonal flooding and other bullshit.


[04-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Some regions without that aren't quite so fertile, but a lot of Vietnam is exactly that. Super fertile flood plains.


[04-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So it doesn't get depleted? If it does maybe they could use different farming techniques


[04-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Because all of the land is intersected by Deltas and rivers (at least in the south) Its fertile as it can get.


[04-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So it is very resistant to getting depleted, especially in a natural.. or rather, a traditional farming method.


[04-Oct-20 12:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>south
Middle and even North to a lesser extent. Place is gucci for farming.


[04-Oct-20 12:34 PM] Wargunlock#0868
North has deserts and shit like cambodia IIRC


[04-Oct-20 12:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And even if that were the case, I imagine the Lamia's land holdings for individual estates are really quite big. They could probably rotate their crop fields and allow them to fallow for very very long periods of time.


[04-Oct-20 12:35 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Are Lamias pretty intelligent?


[04-Oct-20 12:35 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Like are they less intelligent than white people or more intelligent than white people?


[04-Oct-20 12:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Outcast from his village
Keep in mind I'm only talking about Vietlamia for the time being, 8-track. There's also large-ish Lamia presence elsewhere in the world, specifically the American South West.


[04-Oct-20 12:35 PM] Wargunlock#0868
They would place high in spatial memory, waxmaking, stonecutting and tunneldigging are all things that require high spatial intelligence.


[04-Oct-20 12:36 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
very true, kevin


[04-Oct-20 12:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Lamias pretty intelligent
I'd call them human average with a few very specific things they're worse or better at.


[04-Oct-20 12:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like I imagine when it comes to instincts for hunting, which one could call natural talent, they'd be better at that as a whole.


[04-Oct-20 12:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Some individuals being shit at it, sure, but most, better than human average


[04-Oct-20 12:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
More over, Harpy and I haven't hit the racial issue too hard yet, other than to say that the Royalty are very light skinned, usually, in addition to having wonderfully beautiful snake-parts with a natural shine and luster similar to a high quality silk.

Spatial intelligence (psychology)
Spatial intelligence is an area in the theory of multiple intelligences that deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye. 
It is defined by Howard Gardner as a human computational capacity that provides the ability or mental skill to solve spat...


[04-Oct-20 12:38 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Their gardens would look weird, lots of space to move between the rows


[04-Oct-20 12:38 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which lead to Rich non-royalty wanting to emulate their Kings, which lead to draping themselves in silk but that's a little faggy so they went to lacquers, waxes, and polishing to mimic the look.


[04-Oct-20 12:38 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Since they have fat fucking tails that would flatten crops


[04-Oct-20 12:38 PM] mothman#1742
i would imagine the lamia royalty would also have lighter skin because they arent outside working a bunch


[04-Oct-20 12:38 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Wait


[04-Oct-20 12:38 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, kind of. Though keep in mind all their farming, in entirety prior to Konvergence, is very old style manual labor.


[04-Oct-20 12:39 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Are they going to have long Chinese aristocrat nails?


[04-Oct-20 12:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah but that's a temporary non-genetic thing, in that case, Moffman.


[04-Oct-20 12:39 PM] mothman#1742

[04-Oct-20 12:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Na because those nails are cringe, is my statement on that.


[04-Oct-20 12:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine Harpy would agree, as he also hates the chinkoids.


[04-Oct-20 12:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Also, it's notable that Lamia's ground-pressure would be pretty low. Maybe 100 pounds or less.

Fancy shit to affix onto the very ends of their tails. Or for rich niggas to do, at least.


[04-Oct-20 12:41 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Chink aristocrats were proud of their long nails because it meant they didn't have to do menial labor like a peasant


[04-Oct-20 12:41 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So they had nail protectors


[04-Oct-20 12:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They're really big into wicker, I imagine their gold working and copper working is often similar to it, for shit like the tail caps.

[04-Oct-20 12:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, they're big, so they might very well have to have especially wide rows. They certainly have taller and wider tunnels than we would expect


[04-Oct-20 12:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Though I imagine they're able to crawl down low way better than we can. Maybe without even having their human part even touch the ground, if they're fit enough.


[04-Oct-20 12:44 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
They can stand on their tails, which are quite strong


[04-Oct-20 12:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup, though no exercise would of course make them weak, especially if we're talking about a weird physical position that they simply don't do often.


[04-Oct-20 12:44 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
How far forwards can they bend


[04-Oct-20 12:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, what do you mean far forwards.


[04-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Like bending over to tend to crops
Thanks to their tail they'd be able to go pretty far


[04-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ah, yes.


[04-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Quite able to do so


[04-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Though it's probably unpleasant ish if they're not used to it.


[04-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So they'd have wider paths but larger areas between them in their fields/gardens


[04-Oct-20 12:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Imagine you strap your legs to a table and you have to support your entire body, from your groin to your head, all with your muscles, doing the plant position basically.


[04-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If you aren't strong generally, or aren't used to that position specifically, you'd prolly suck at it.


[04-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia wouldn't suck as bad, but they'd still suck at it if they weren't strong or used to it.


[04-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
I think they'd be pretty decent at it


[04-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
It would make their tails a lot more useful


[04-Oct-20 12:46 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Instead of them just being dead weight


[04-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They're tails are p. useful already. For instance, they can carry quite a bit of weight along their tails without too much issue. It tires them out more than us I imagine, since crawling on the ground is prolly inefficient comparatively, but they can still do it.


[04-Oct-20 12:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Carrying 150 pounds of bricks with them to the wall building project instead of only 30 - 50.


[04-Oct-20 12:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Besides that their tails are also incredibly dangerous offensive weapons. If a Lamia slaps you with it's tail there's a good chance you'd die, if they meant it hard.


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And despite carrying that heavy weight, if it's packed onto them correctly, it only barely increases their ground pressure.


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Each segment of Lamia tail would be equivalent to like... 100 pounds, give or take, for a heavy lamia. Less for a light one.


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So it's possible that for some certain land mines, they wouldn't even detonate for Lamia.


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
(though.... ethat idea has some problems with it too so don't take it too seriously.)


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
If they could stand on their tails that would give them a lot more mobility


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Kinda like a cobra can


[04-Oct-20 12:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 12:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Right, I understand that


[04-Oct-20 12:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but you need to better define it,


[04-Oct-20 12:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
do you mean to say their human parts standing? Becuase yes, they certainly can.


[04-Oct-20 12:50 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Not just the human parts, but also a tail segment underneath it


[04-Oct-20 12:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Do you mean their snake parts extending up to put their human parts higher? If so, yes, they can, but only so much.


[04-Oct-20 12:51 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
Having them just have a human body coming out 90 degrees of their tail on the ground would be retarded


[04-Oct-20 12:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
We've already got it so there's 2-ish feet of snake part that comfortably acts as the human part's "legs", sorta kinda. I imagine they could extend that higher, but that it would be uncomfortable. Cobra-Lamia could probably do it,


[04-Oct-20 12:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and I did intend there to be a few families of semi-inbred Cobra Lamia actually, that act as the main War niggas in Vietlamia.


[04-Oct-20 12:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So they could probably do that even better.

[04-Oct-20 12:53 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
That's retarded because you can't have part of their body be 90 degrees like that


[04-Oct-20 12:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said yeah they can extend their shit but it's probably somewhat uncomfortable and unnatural. Like if you were to stand on your tip-toes all day long. Eventually you'd get good at it, great at it maybe, but that's not something their biology is really intended for in most cases.


[04-Oct-20 12:53 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041

How can Lamia be about as tall as humans if they don't stand on their tails


[04-Oct-20 12:56 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
It'll just look like a body coming out of the ground with a tail attached to its ass


[04-Oct-20 12:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like I said, they stand on 2 or 3 feet of their tail like they would legs


[04-Oct-20 12:57 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So they do stand on their tails then
Ok


[04-Oct-20 12:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's ass is as high as the ass of a somewhat-tall person today, and then beneath it is tail.


[04-Oct-20 12:57 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
I thought you meant they didn't


[04-Oct-20 12:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 12:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Incidentally,


[04-Oct-20 12:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They have asses,


[04-Oct-20 12:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
some of them are fat,


[04-Oct-20 12:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but the shit-hole is near the end of their tails.


[04-Oct-20 12:58 PM] Bob_the_Builder#7041
So the ass is just muscle


[04-Oct-20 12:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 01:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 01:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, these factors make asia as a whole really appealing to Dragons. They got here, they make great mounds or hoards, they lay huge clutches of eggs


[04-Oct-20 01:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
These eggs wake up semi randomly over hundreds of years, often times when the mama dragon's asleep or off doing shit far away for many decades. When they do wake up they're retarded basically-animals. There's some rudimentary intelligence, and their intelligence gradually develops, but at the start they're terribly retarded and violent.

@Battlebrothermichael are manticors or sphynx's in fanksia supposed to be intelligent ?


[04-Oct-20 01:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Their children being killed? No problem, I've got 999 more. Their *entire clutch* being exterminated? Oh shit oh fuck.


[04-Oct-20 01:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, point is, the Lamia's whole deal is their Snake God slew all the dragons and the clutches in Vietlamia and the shit's relatively safe now. They only have to deal with dragon incursions, rather than local dragon awakenings.


[04-Oct-20 01:10 PM] Wargunlock#0868
Ah yeah we were talking about this last time Kevin.


[04-Oct-20 01:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

the White Snake. Giant snake, bigger than Lamia are, certainly, and no human parts involved.


[04-Oct-20 01:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Somehow he defeated all the Dragons.


[04-Oct-20 01:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
IIRC we were talking about how he used... stealth? to do it?


[04-Oct-20 01:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I think the gist is that through guile and cunning, but not jewishness, he tracked down where the dragon spawn was coming from and snuck in to eat all the eggs.


[04-Oct-20 01:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And after he did so he fucked some human broads to cap off the productive day.


[04-Oct-20 01:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The broad-fucking may or may not be actually part of this. Very well might not be, tbh.


[04-Oct-20 01:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But he certainly did somehow create his Lamias. He created the royal niggas, of which the king is viewed as a Demigod despite being mortal like anybody else, albeit perhaps with special magics,


[04-Oct-20 01:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and he also created the normal Lamia, which populate the land and usually have a drop or two of royal blood at the most, very diluted.

And, to restate this, Royal blooded niggas have very beautiful scales. Luminous, glossy, shiny, a sense that the color is much deeper than normal lamia coloration. Not deeper as in darker, but deeper as in there's much more to see.

Probably not

More slither like lightning


[04-Oct-20 01:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Slither for sure, but, are you sayin' dis nigga can project himself into the sky?


[04-Oct-20 01:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I could see him like


[04-Oct-20 01:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
bound up into the sky with his massive tail and strength


[04-Oct-20 01:42 PM] Coastie#3790
He was fast like lightning. So the God's made him so


[04-Oct-20 01:42 PM] Coastie#3790
?

>springs so hard, it's like '30s Superman, leaping over tall buildings in a single bound, but not full-on flight


[04-Oct-20 01:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Gods made him so
I'm not sure he's not just a literal god himself


[04-Oct-20 01:42 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe not project himself into the sky, more so just launching himself very feat

He's unironically a Giant snake, for starters


[04-Oct-20 01:42 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
lunging, yes, that's the word


[04-Oct-20 01:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So, what was his deal?


[04-Oct-20 01:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
He would walk over Asia and meme around, eat some dinosaurs sometimes, etc


[04-Oct-20 01:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and then dragon shits came and he was pissed off about this


[04-Oct-20 01:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
He was taking a nap one day in his tunnels and suddenly hte roof started giving in and an immature Dragon started trying to gnaw on my nigga whitesnake


[04-Oct-20 01:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So he immediately flailed around and broke the thing's neck, and went back to sleep.


[04-Oct-20 01:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The next day, two more immature dragons came upon him, and did the same thing, and this fight was a little more difficult but he still came out of it fine.


[04-Oct-20 01:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not one to ignore a problem twice in a row, he got up from his slumber to look around, and found Baby dragons all over the place. Burning down forests, boiling his favorite river and killing all the fish inside, taking massive dragon dumps all over the place like pajeets


[04-Oct-20 01:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And then... he sees the mother Dragon. She's bigger, by a lot, tougher, by a lot, than her babies. She finds her dead babies, and being a dragon, only cares minorly about what happened. She has 997 left, of course.


[04-Oct-20 01:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So she flies back to her nest. White Snake stealthily follows her. Hiding in the jungles, under the canopies, in the rivers and the reeds, and even through tunnels. He slithers into her lair and looks around. He finds many hundreds of eggs, he finds the mama dragon, and ultimately sees all the sources of his problems. He waits for her to enter her great slumber, as Dragons do, and as White Snake partakes in from time to time as well.


[04-Oct-20 01:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
He sneaks up to her, coils around her, and by the time she awakens he's got her in a death grip. Bites into her neck and uses his body to grip and squeeze the life out from her.


[04-Oct-20 01:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Then, he eats all the eggs. Many hundreds of these eggs. He eats them all, all that were remaining, anyway. He's stuffed to bursting, and he makes the slow journey back to his home, away from this dragon shitheap made out of gay cringe and to the warm fertile clay fields of the lowlands and the deltas.


[04-Oct-20 01:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Along the way he's harassed by many small dragon niggers, but he's too tired after eating such a large meal to do much, so he mostly just sneaks around and eludes them. He makes it back home, and feels a great nap over taking him, so he makes the Lamia, to protect him as he naps, and to kill all the remaining dragon shits flying around. A hundred or less, maybe.


[04-Oct-20 01:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And then there's further creation myths that separate the royal niggas from the peasant Lamia.


[04-Oct-20 01:52 PM] Coastie#3790
Eating of the eggs could take days or months, the dragon blood changed him?


[04-Oct-20 01:52 PM] Coastie#3790
Digesting*


[04-Oct-20 01:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Na. No more than eating these sweet potatoes is going to change a Lamia into a sweet potato.


[04-Oct-20 01:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
He just made the first batch with a very clear and focused intent.


[04-Oct-20 01:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The next batch was made hurriedly. Fine, y'know. Good. But not quite so beautiful, without quite so much focus, since he had to be roused from his sleep by the Royals to even do it.


[04-Oct-20 01:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Each baby dragon's the size of a school bus, we can assume the eggs aren't much smaller if any, so that's *quite* a big meal.


[04-Oct-20 01:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The Festivals specifically honoring the White Snake are probably really big on egg dishes, considering.


[04-Oct-20 01:58 PM] Coastie#3790
The lamias would love chickens


[04-Oct-20 01:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
He'll yeah br0ther


[04-Oct-20 01:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I wonder if they pickle eggs.


[04-Oct-20 01:59 PM] Coastie#3790
Certainly.


[04-Oct-20 01:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia need like 17,000 calories a day, and they prefer by far to eat all of that in one big meal, around lunch time.


[04-Oct-20 01:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
One acre of sweet potatoes can support 1.7 Lamia per year, I believe it works out to be.


[04-Oct-20 02:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>one egg has only 75 calories
Whoa.


[04-Oct-20 02:01 PM] Coastie#3790
Chickens or a reptilian equivalent would provide superb bug and small pest control while also shitting out eggs


[04-Oct-20 02:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hell yeah. I'm trying to figure out how Lamia meals would be structured


[04-Oct-20 02:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
because they need a *lot* of staple foods in their meals


[04-Oct-20 02:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would it be like... one really good human-tier meal, lots of different shit in that and all,


[04-Oct-20 02:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lots of breads from their lands


[04-Oct-20 02:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and then shit bowls and bowls and bowls of rice and sweet potato and shit?


[04-Oct-20 02:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Carb heavy


[04-Oct-20 02:04 PM] Coastie#3790
Raw eggs have all the nutrients a human needs all prepackaged in an easily digestible form


[04-Oct-20 02:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[04-Oct-20 02:04 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a drink made with raw eggs?


[04-Oct-20 02:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 02:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[04-Oct-20 02:05 PM] Coastie#3790
Cinnamon is native to Vietnam.


[04-Oct-20 02:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe has a slurry from the fast growing sugar cane in it?


[04-Oct-20 02:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oohhhhh


[04-Oct-20 02:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well... They've already got loads of spices, right? Cinnamon, nutmeg, etc?


[04-Oct-20 02:06 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>mix sugar slurry with raw egg, Water buffalo cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices


[04-Oct-20 02:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Do they actually process the sugar cane into granulated sugar?


[04-Oct-20 02:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or do they just molasses' it up


[04-Oct-20 02:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also don't they have easy access to Vanilla, too?


[04-Oct-20 02:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinking early on that one of the major exports from Vietlamia might be spices.


[04-Oct-20 02:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think they would just straight molasses it


[04-Oct-20 02:07 PM] Coastie#3790
Molasses would be easier.


[04-Oct-20 02:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, like, a human breakfast right


[04-Oct-20 02:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Two eggs, a rasher or two of bacon, some good ass toast with some butter


[04-Oct-20 02:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
maybe a glass of orange juice or some milk


[04-Oct-20 02:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and a nigga's set af until lunch or maybe even an early dinner.


[04-Oct-20 02:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia though? They would need to eat waaaaaay more than just that. I can rationalize spending XYZ time making orange juice if it's benefit to my meal is great.


[04-Oct-20 02:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But one glass of orange juice, what's that to a Lamia when she's scarfing down, what... Literally 7 or 8 times the food I am? Hell, come to think of it, no


[04-Oct-20 02:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
more like uhh.... 21 times the food I am, in that sitting.


[04-Oct-20 02:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Makes me wonder if the first part of the meal would be the shittier more staple foods, and the last bit of the meal would be the more delectable things, or if they'd just try hard to make every single component delectable.


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think the inverse


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Coastie#3790
I think it'll depend on the meal setting


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like how the old parties did it with wine


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Washu mean Coaster-kun?


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
You served the good stuff first so everyone got to enjoy the flavor of that


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Coastie#3790
This^


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, I could see that approach.


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then the mediocre filler stuff later after everyone had their fill of the good stuff


[04-Oct-20 02:11 PM] Coastie#3790
Also saki


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But I personally alwys enjoy a meal more when the last bite is as good or better than the starting ones.


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Regrettable when the last bite happens to be the worst part of the steak or the meatloaf or w/e.


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Saki
Yee. Snake wine.


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fancy meats and all that at first


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Coastie#3790
This is called dessert. Pickled eggs for all


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then the filler carbs


[04-Oct-20 02:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ahh, I could see that, yeah.


[04-Oct-20 02:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Then end with a tasty desert


[04-Oct-20 02:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
First course is the great shit, middle is the mundane but important shit, and then the end is more of the great shit.

[04-Oct-20 02:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

~~southern cooking isn’t healthy~~


[04-Oct-20 02:17 PM] Coastie#3790
Fried okra is awesome.
You have to pick the okra before it gets finger length or it gets hard and non edible
It grows about, in my experience, 1-3 inches a day


[04-Oct-20 02:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
GUMBO

@Coastie fucking hell yeah, fried Okra is delicious. Reminds me of a zucchini with a stronger texture


[04-Oct-20 02:18 PM] Coastie#3790
Also for some reason paper wasps love to hang around it


[04-Oct-20 02:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Whoa


[04-Oct-20 02:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Okra sounds lit


[04-Oct-20 02:19 PM] Coastie#3790
Some people hate it due to it's texture.


[04-Oct-20 02:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Whoa, so gumbo is fucking what, thick-ass stew with meat and rice?


[04-Oct-20 02:19 PM] Coastie#3790
It's modern porrage


[04-Oct-20 02:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Looks like it's got a lot of everything in it.


[04-Oct-20 02:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm thinking a big bowl of gumbo, and several big bowls of rice and or sweet potato of some type.


[04-Oct-20 02:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Root tuber growing is apparently super efficient to grow, space and in most ways work-to-calories


[04-Oct-20 02:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, sweet potato farming works out to be 70,000 calories per day per hectare, and a hectare is like 2 and a half or 2.7 or something acres.


[04-Oct-20 02:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
one acre would ultimately work out to enough to fully feed 1.7 lamia


[04-Oct-20 02:22 PM] Coastie#3790
Ok so we got: Sweet potatoes fries, gumbo, eggs, potato bread, saki, clams, shrimp, crawdads, rice upon rice, eggs, soups, meats, carrots, squash,


[04-Oct-20 02:22 PM] Coastie#3790
Fruits and sugars


[04-Oct-20 02:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
sweet potatoes upon sweet potatoes, as well as lots and lots of spice cultivation


[04-Oct-20 02:23 PM] Coastie#3790
Pies


[04-Oct-20 02:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Either on every Lamia estate (Basically large sprawling land owned by specific Clans, in a sense.) there'd be lots of spice cultivation, or one group of Lamia in the region would focus and specialize on that and do a lot of trading with the other Lamia


[04-Oct-20 02:25 PM] Coastie#3790
They'll probably have their own spice gardens or harvest them wild


[04-Oct-20 02:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Wait a minute


[04-Oct-20 02:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia have an American attitude


[04-Oct-20 02:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Vietnamese culture/aesthetic


[04-Oct-20 02:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

*SNEK C A L O R I E*


[04-Oct-20 02:27 PM] Chimbo#3420
they aren't diverse

||it was a joke||


[04-Oct-20 02:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Water buffalo cheese?


[04-Oct-20 02:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmm


[04-Oct-20 02:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Probably would work


[04-Oct-20 02:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It may, but


[04-Oct-20 02:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
that's also a lot of investment ultimately.

Would they prefer to use the milk fresh / make egg nog with it / use it in certain dishes where it's necessary


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
instead of just *c h e e s e*


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Welll


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Cheese helps preserve the milk


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Coastie#3790
Milk doesn't keep long, especially in those climates


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, but they need to preserve their harvests, not necessarily their milk I'd think.


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Cheese is also super calorie dense since it’s just fats


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And there's no shortage of thirsty mouths when it comes to milk in a Lamia estate I'm sure.


[04-Oct-20 02:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A small slice of provolone has about 120 calories in it


[04-Oct-20 02:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Cheese could be rarer because it’s the leftover milk?


[04-Oct-20 02:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Basically what I'm thinking. Cheese is to deal with too much milk firstly, and because it's really tasty secondly, historically, right?


[04-Oct-20 02:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And the idea of Lamia leftovers is a hard thing to picture


[04-Oct-20 02:32 PM] Chimbo#3420
Cheese is good

Ayy, how does recommended caloric intake work if you're just a merchant on your ass all day?


[04-Oct-20 02:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
IRL, would a nigga *need* 2,000 calories then?


[04-Oct-20 02:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The 2,000 calories thing is a baseline sedentary lifestyle with only limited exercise


[04-Oct-20 02:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
2,000 calories to maintain your weight


[04-Oct-20 02:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Soooo


[04-Oct-20 02:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Is 17,000 baseline to maintain weight?


[04-Oct-20 02:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or is that if they are working hard in the fields?


[04-Oct-20 02:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
oof


[04-Oct-20 02:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I based the 17k on the 2k


[04-Oct-20 02:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm doing some loose research on snake locomotion and it's apparently both a more complex topic than it sounds, as well as not being all that efficient energy-wise.


[04-Oct-20 02:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe the 17,000 is for an average lamia?


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And on average, they do a lot of work


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Subs for the smerchents they just need half?


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or even a third?


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Since little to no movement?


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
8,500 a day?


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Just a few plates of food at Chili’s and they would be fine


[04-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, maybe. Though the idea was Snakes have such and such times human mass, so they'd need such and such times calories.


[04-Oct-20 03:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And that's at the uh, keeping their weight thing


[04-Oct-20 03:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Looks like hard manual labor normally requires 50 - 100 percent increase in caloric intake.


[04-Oct-20 03:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So a caloric need of 25,500 per day, roughly, if there's hard physical labor being done.


[04-Oct-20 03:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said traditional farming had a lot of down time afaik, so really strenuous days might not be *that* common


[04-Oct-20 03:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Some types of snake movement are actually more efficient but those aren't the ones you commonly see, and many snakes don't do them at all, apparently?


[04-Oct-20 03:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
At any rate, I would imagine Smerchents get paid in food a lot of the time. Lamia may not be friendly but they are kind, I imagine, and would either give food to a needy Smerchent who wasn't able to make any sales-for-food that day, and is too far away from his merchant family to eat with them, or would at least be willing to trade food for something as a favor.

So for 2,000 calories, that's... 43 pounds of sweet potatoes. Or roughly three bags of baking potatoes, for a weight comparison.


[04-Oct-20 03:12 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also apparently one is able to store sweet potatoes pretty well over long term if they have somewhere relatively cool and moisture is kept off them. *Especially* if sunlight is kept off them.


[04-Oct-20 03:13 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
“Yep, that microwave is worth about... 40lbs of sweet potatoes.”


[04-Oct-20 03:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also apparently they, as in irl farmer niggas, would 'cure' the sweet potatoes in some cases before storing them away.


[04-Oct-20 03:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Harvest them during a very dry period, make sure they don't get knicked while doing so, and let them dry from 10 - 14 days in a warm place with high humidity


[04-Oct-20 03:14 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
After that keep them in a cool area wrapped in a way where light won't get on'm and bam, you've got some pretty long lasting food stuffs without much effort involved.


[04-Oct-20 03:15 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

Sweet potato farmers are crazy


[04-Oct-20 03:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Idunno. Maybe that 10 - 14 day curing period seals them up somehow so they are more resistant to rot and shit later


[04-Oct-20 03:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamias would probably have vast underground “curing” stations for the sweet potatoes


[04-Oct-20 03:16 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
As well as massive underground larders for their potato crop


[04-Oct-20 03:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee. They need heat and humidity for the first curing process so maybe they have curing houses up top for the purpose. S'already kinda hot up there, s'already kinda muggy, easy enough to steam up a room up there if need be


[04-Oct-20 03:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Then store'm underground in the larders.


[04-Oct-20 03:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they have little tunnel vents in the rooms for the hot air to go up into an attic?


[04-Oct-20 03:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hot air and humidity do go up iirc


[04-Oct-20 03:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ironically, since >snakes, but, do they have vermin problems? And if so, do they employ tunnel cats for that issue?


[04-Oct-20 03:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d expect that they don’t have much vermin problems


[04-Oct-20 03:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe bugs


[04-Oct-20 03:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

surely if sweet potato bread tasted like pumpkin pie I would have gorged myself on it by now.


[04-Oct-20 03:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Actually, I think this all might be flour-dependent


[04-Oct-20 03:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And I'm not sure if there are flour alternatives that aren't wheat or things grown very similarly to wheat.


[04-Oct-20 03:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
There are flour alternatives


[04-Oct-20 03:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[04-Oct-20 03:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Potato flour, starches, etc


[04-Oct-20 03:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Most starchy things can be made into a flour


[04-Oct-20 03:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee, I'm lookin' around at'm. But apparently China had bread back during hte Han Dynasty, which was 200 BC to 200 AD


[04-Oct-20 03:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But I'm having trouble finding out if normal niggas in asia ate bread


[04-Oct-20 03:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
rich niggas, sure, whatever, but normals?


[04-Oct-20 03:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I say all this because none of these sweet potato bread recipes avoid using flour, and it's all either wheat or almond


[04-Oct-20 03:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they could have their own recipe for it?


[04-Oct-20 03:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not exactly an earth sweet potato bread


[04-Oct-20 03:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmm. Apparently noodles in chinkland were often made of rice flour so I guess that's the next logical step.


[04-Oct-20 03:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The answer I'm getting is: Fuck.


[04-Oct-20 03:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Fuck it, they grow wheat sometimes. A life without bread is like a life without orbs.


[04-Oct-20 04:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They eat pumpkin pie tasting sweet potato bread and drink heavily spiced eggnog on occasion.


[04-Oct-20 04:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I've felt every single second of that 40 minute long goddamned nose dive into the unironic 10,000 year span of south east asian history on grains and farming


[04-Oct-20 04:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I suppose everything they make would be hearty and heavy. None of that pissant salt water soup shit.


[04-Oct-20 04:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe a certain type of fantasy west


[04-Oct-20 04:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Even the stuff they know that can't really produce a whole hell of a lot of, is very heavy. If it's a very light snack it's looked at as either not worth making, or something meant to be made in such great quantities that it can be ritualistically wasted. Used in a similar wasteful fashion as throwing rice on weddings or whatever. They'd probably view popcorn similarly, if they had any.


[04-Oct-20 04:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, fantasy wheat's an option. I was thinking maybe some kind of reed that can be processed into a wheat flour of sorts. That'll do, I suppose.


[04-Oct-20 04:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 04:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I also learned that the reason they flood rice paddies in traditional farming of it is because it keeps out annoying weeds pretty well


[04-Oct-20 04:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
it's not even really necessary to grow rice well.

[04-Oct-20 04:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So, how does their national polishing, waxing, and lacquering autism extend to their every day lives? Like I memed before, I iamgine most metalic things would be sold shiny, and they'd look on non-shiny things as lesser. The feeling being if the producer can't even afford to polish it, what else can't they afford to do?


[04-Oct-20 04:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
This erroneously may extend into post-konvergence times as well, but prior to that it was mostly a reasonable thing to think, because of the proliferation of skilled polishers in Lamia society.


[04-Oct-20 04:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hey


[04-Oct-20 04:17 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They would need to get the wax to polish from somewhere


[04-Oct-20 04:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

They probably love that nutty fish sauce I memed about the other day, as well as straight up honey as a condiment sometimes, similar to how we might use butter.


[04-Oct-20 04:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hell, if you go to KFC, they use honey exactly like that.

I could see them doing sort of a meat loaf thing or... like, a shepherd's pie deal, where it's 90 percent sweet potato and seasonings, and 10 percent meats and shit.


[04-Oct-20 04:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So even though they've got a lot of that staple, it still tastes pretty good.


[04-Oct-20 04:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 04:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Somewhere for most of the Lamia to go on holy days. Maybe a handful in each region.


[04-Oct-20 04:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Staying home to guard the Estate is seen as a punishment for fucking up in some major way.


[04-Oct-20 04:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia get all dressed up in their nice clothes, polish and lacquer and wax their scales.


[04-Oct-20 04:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Pray to the White Snake to look over their ancestors and themselves, maybe do offerings. Lotta incense.


[04-Oct-20 04:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Old structures built all out of quarried and cut stone. Tastefully worked, smooth, but not so much so that it's reflective and gaudy.

[04-Oct-20 04:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, why do you feel they wouldn't have temples outside of cities? I'm mostly motivated in this by wanting the jungle temple aesthetic. Water ways where there aren't supposed to be any, creeping vines engulfing the structure, trees growing out of cracks in this place and that, carved Human (Lamia) heads, carved snakes heads


[04-Oct-20 04:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Actual snakes inside, and the cool mysterious and dangerous atmosphere this presents and allows.


[04-Oct-20 04:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Mainly because of the “no step on snek” idea


[04-Oct-20 04:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Might be that, normally, one Lamia estate or two per area, give or take, has major temples like that. Draws in Lamia from all over, gives them some revenue which is always a positive, maybe gets them a lot of good will.


[04-Oct-20 04:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because of the power of the church


[04-Oct-20 04:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe there is a major temple on its own land?


[04-Oct-20 04:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And that temple is equally “no steppy”


[04-Oct-20 04:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, the power of the church is the same power that compels them to exist as a country in the first place. The King is a descendent of God, literally


[04-Oct-20 05:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They literally worship that nigga, although would probably prefer not to have a country at all.


[04-Oct-20 05:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>major temple on it's own land
Yeah, or maybe it's the King's land, technically, and is both .... allowing free access to the local snakes, as a gift, as well as giving them some level of responsibility to maintain it.


[04-Oct-20 05:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe in the very southern section of the country there's been a long standing Oni incursion, and/or some other problems, and certain areas have been abandoned or otherwise just forced into being unkempt, resulting in the aesthetic I mentioned above.


[04-Oct-20 07:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[04-Oct-20 07:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup. And maybe elsewhere generally. I figure they've got more threats than just the Dragons, and Wargun told me Asia's full of Oni's


[04-Oct-20 07:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
What do you think though, King's land here and there, relatively small compared to Lamia estates but still sizable enough, with very well made stone temples built on top that the local Snussy families take care of in some capacity.


[04-Oct-20 07:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hhhmmmmm


[04-Oct-20 07:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sounds okay to me


[04-Oct-20 07:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So what do we have so far on Lamia culture. Very insular and distrusting of outsiders, and there are unwritten rules for how to gain one's trust as a complete outsider. Lots of gift giving and talks over a period of time. The best interrogators actually talk to the outsider and get lots of info and try to judge the person's character, the worst ones just ask variations of "What do you want with us" until the outsider either slips up or the Lamia's satisfied that he hasn't tried attacking or backstabbing anybody yet. A lot of their society requires other people they know to vouch for newcomers.

[04-Oct-20 07:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They prefer ambushes and sneaking around to fighting head on. They don't travel much, at least pre-konvergence. Only certain Government officials, the King's retinue, the Merchant families, and workmen who do such technical labor that Lamia estates can't perform the duties themselves.


[04-Oct-20 07:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They have a lot of arranged or semi-arranged marriages, organized either by direct parents or by elected Patriarchs or Matriarchs of their respective Estates, or Families.


[04-Oct-20 07:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Estates are huge swaths of land, normally suitable for farming or at least making money in some capacity, that individual families of Lamia live on. Sometimes very small groups, sometimes very large groups, sometimes small groups in huge areas, and sometimes large groups in very small areas, like those in the rare Lamia cities.

Most Estates have many tens of Lamia on them in one family unit thought. 50 - 100 let's say.


[04-Oct-20 08:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They require a huge amount of food for sapient creatures, and spend a lot of their working time getting it. Farming, hunting, trading, etc. That, combined with the fact that housing so many Lamia can be expensive regardless of how busy everyone is, as well as their natural inclination for confined secure places, means it's quite common for most members of a Lamia estate to live underground in tunnels dug into the dense clay earth in their property. Normally all of this housing is built in the center of their property, as far away as possible from potential outside threats.


[04-Oct-20 08:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[04-Oct-20 08:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
God even the summed up version of this is long


[04-Oct-20 08:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
This compendium entry is going to be like a Wikipedia article


[04-Oct-20 08:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fucking jice


[04-Oct-20 08:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I am proud


[04-Oct-20 08:04 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I-I'm pretty sure there's more I could cover from here, but all I've eaten since morning is a few doritos so I'm startin' to flag a lil' here.


[04-Oct-20 08:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Get some food in you man


[04-Oct-20 08:05 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I am going to go back through everything we discussed and add the bits of it into the document


[04-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
For instance, not htat we've covered this but, Fashion was basically mimicking the Royalty, which is normal of course. So the Nobles who serve the Royalty started making their scales artificially and temporarily look like the Royals'. The rich peasants like the Merchants and certain especially skilled well-paid families and what not copied the Nobles, and then the middle class peasants started copying them. Sure, makes sense and all that.


[04-Oct-20 08:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Cool, distant people who have a lot of wealth and power and who you only see once or twice every handful of years. More appealing to emulate them than the Lamia across the street who dress the same as any other peasant you've ever met.


[04-Oct-20 08:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, this partly implies that fashion trends are incredibly slow in Vietlamia, except in times of great upheaval like war or mass retreat.


[04-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Their good clothes are... copies of the rich niggas. Their makeup iss...... Copies of the rich niggas. Great grand father dresses this way, Grandfather, Father, Son, Grandson, Great grand son.


[04-Oct-20 08:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There are regional styles but, ultimately, pre-konvergence, you'd see a huge similarity between all of it, a rather static similarity at that.


[04-Oct-20 08:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, as a result every region has silk clothes makers, the kinda shit you'd wear and buy color variants of, etc, for special events and festivals, religious deals like going to the snake temple, wearing at weddings and special types that you'd wear at funerals.


[04-Oct-20 08:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe it's common for Lamia widows to both dress in blacks and whites, but also apply makeup that makes them look dead as well, including on their scales. Something that does the opposite of usual - Removes luster. The idea being that when her husband dies, part of her is dead as well, in her grief.


[04-Oct-20 09:48 PM] Coastie#3790
Idea for the temples, since they are made of stone they could also double as a retreat point in case of invasion or attack. Since they prefer stealth and subterfuge they'd be inclined to use bows, slings, possibly crossbows and poisoned arrows. Maybe poisoned blowdarts for the closer quarters fighting.


[04-Oct-20 09:49 PM] Coastie#3790
Due to how muscular they are I can see them using staff type weapons pre-konvergence


[04-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like the idea for the styles


[04-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And fashion


[04-Oct-20 09:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Also the temple idea


[04-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Retreat point
Maybe, though Lamia are very protective of their own familial holdings, in the form of their Estates. The tunnels in the estates work as a really great defensive point, all in all.


[04-Oct-20 10:01 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In most cases I would see Lamia families either defending hteir home successfully, or all dying down there.


[04-Oct-20 10:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I've eaten burger and have since forgot what my ideas even were.


[04-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Them using staff weapons pre-konvergence
Definitely. Probably a lot of spears and the like, and especially so where it applies to their tunnel defense.


[04-Oct-20 10:06 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Whatmst a melee nigga gonna do in a tight tunnel with three spears in your face


[04-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm not sure they prefer subterfuge as it were, but stealth and ambushes for sure. Bows, spears, poison


[04-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
though much of what they fight are either Oni's, or unironic dinosaurs, as per the pre established lore for this area.


[04-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In the latter case I imagine spears would be the name of the game there, with swords as emergency backup


[04-Oct-20 10:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and poison tipped arrows to make the dinosaurs easier for the snakes to handle


[04-Oct-20 10:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael Would most Lamia have that homeschooler vibe?


[04-Oct-20 10:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The homeschooler vibe?


[04-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe


[04-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That general sense of "Oh, this person is kind of socially autistic, but in a weird way that doesn't seem like literal autism at all"


[04-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
you get it with home school niggas at times.


[04-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah that one


[04-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d say in some cases, yeah


[04-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Especially younger lamia


[04-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
S'just that, if they spend their whole lives knowing their family, and chunks of their lives seeing two or three or four - Hell, let's even call it fuckin' 5 - other families


[04-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and like.... 20 merchants in their life, doing the same rounds to their place every week or month.. and like maybe 5 or 10 King servant niggas on official business


[04-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The majority of all listed having relatively minor amounts of interaction with these people


[04-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
you'd think the niggas would have an odd society.


[04-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They all have the tism


[04-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d think that once you’d get a lamia comfortable and talking they would talk a lot


[04-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Coastie#3790
Online gaming would be a nightmare for them


[04-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In a way


[04-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or heaven


[04-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but it'd also be a great e- yeah


[04-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
a great enhancement, really, in a sense.


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>can choose who you want to talk to
>easily spend hours talking without having anyone spend any time near your property
>don’t like someone? Mute or ban them
>private groups for family and close friends only


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Even if they are really autistically uhm... closed off from most online niggas, they'd still increase their friends-who-I'm-not-related-to numbers by a huge amount.


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They would love it


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>playing a match with a lamia usually ends with a friend request


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They would hate dark souls


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>an Invader has showed up
*incoherent lamia screaming*


[04-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Coastie#3790
The older generation would loath it


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe. Or maybe it would give them a dual set of... personality modes, in a sense.


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:Jerry:


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
H-haha


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Very open (for a Lamia) online, but in person mostly similar to normal Lamia.


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Coastie#3790
Social self/family self?


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah kinda.


[04-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It would make sense


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Online persona versus IRL personality


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Lamias love streaming


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like, online they wouldn't have much threat from these outsider niggas. It's like removing one major negative-for-them aspect out of the social dynamic.


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine Lamia would be incredibly paranoid about viruses.


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Coastie#3790
And doxing


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"Epic games? Isn't that Chinese or something? Nty I'm not downloading it."


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Lamia uses Omegle


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>only once


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>never again


[04-Oct-20 10:25 PM] Coastie#3790
Facebook? NOPE


[04-Oct-20 10:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"Discord? Lmao why would I use something that wasn't peer to peer? Come on, let's hop in my teamspeak server"


[04-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like, I imagine a Lamia wouldn't really understand their feelings properly about online friends. They know the friends, they vouch for the friends in the proper semi-official-unwritten-rule Lamia way,


[04-Oct-20 10:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the parents agree, the friend's on his way there, and suddenly the Lamia realizes that this shit is real


[04-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anon's gonna be here and not be on the other side of a discord call or computer screen


[04-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
You know


[04-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
You could work this into the Sheriff lamia story


[04-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh yeah, the eboy thing. Yeah maybe.


[04-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I've thought of two different Sheriff Lamia stories


[04-Oct-20 10:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
not like, two options


[04-Oct-20 10:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:itstime:


[04-Oct-20 10:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but like one and then another, which is as meta-wise weird as it sounds


[04-Oct-20 10:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But once you read'm you'll understand.


[04-Oct-20 10:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like the sound of this


[04-Oct-20 10:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said, I also imagined that Lamia outside of Vietlamia definitely have the Lamia autism, but to a more muted extent.


[04-Oct-20 10:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Samantha's only half Lamia after all, her dad probably taught her at least a lil' in terms of how to not be autistic.


[04-Oct-20 10:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine at their front door, her mom hung some signs you can only see once you're at the door that say trespassers will be shot, etc etc.


[04-Oct-20 10:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:happyharpy:


[04-Oct-20 10:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I love that idea

[04-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yes.


[04-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia would probably really enjoy Gadsen flags.


[04-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Gadsden*


[04-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine a Costco card would be absolute necessary for these poor Lamia


[04-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
No more hyper-fertile Vietlamian soil


[04-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or giant creatures full of delicious rib meat walking around


[04-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[04-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Would Samantha be a gear head at all? Or would that be her hot milf mother? 


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>chug soda like a religion


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Imagine being the waiter for a table of lamias


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Into cars and stuff?


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"Oh honey, I saw your oil was leaking in your truck so I replaced your shocks and installed a new oil filter for you while I was in there fixing it"


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
HAH


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Imagine being a waiter for a table of Lamias
It would be like being a fucking porter on the Titanic nigga


[04-Oct-20 10:34 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So uhh


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Her parents are alive


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Niggas would get off their shift and literally die with Violin music in the background nigga


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Are they still in the town?


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where are they?


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinking so. Speaking of which, logically, what happens to the town now?


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I mean


[04-Oct-20 10:35 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
At least 2/3rds of the town was leveled by explosives and the rest is on fire


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
You know, speaking of which, just how strong are the human parts of Lamia?


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I mean, for example, 10 times stronger int heir arms is too much, right?


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeh that’s a little much


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So that's a good starting reference point


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe twice as strong?


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Which doesn’t sound like a lot


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It is


[04-Oct-20 10:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Question is, do we want them to bea ble to hang from trees by their arms with their snake parts fully dangling?


[04-Oct-20 10:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I would like a wife that I could put in a terrarium and casually observe from across the room in a lounge chair while sipping vodka.


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Apparently the world record deadlift is uhhh


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
1,100-ish pounds.


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sooo


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I guess if you consider snakes are 30 percent larger than humans, that number should start as 30 percent higher too, right?


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So an extra 330 pounds ontop of that for somewhere under 1,500


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Under a lamias body weight....


[04-Oct-20 10:39 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And then double that, 3,000 for a record holder Lamia


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
reduce it by, ehh.... 300 - 400 pounds


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Which is a lot


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Still over a ton


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and a strong Lamia, not a world record holder but a strong Lamia, could prolly lift 2,600ish.


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeah


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A farmer could easily lift that probably


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's deadlift of course. Benching and squats and shit would be lower


[04-Oct-20 10:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and uh... I guess... Lamia squats would be sort of tricky to imagine 


[04-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But yeah, Lamia's in America. Trucks with super reinforced suspensions.


[04-Oct-20 10:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Extra large cab with the back seats to coil their tails into


[04-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and uhh, I suppose they either put their tail tip to use the gas pedals, or get it converted for hand controls.


[04-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Samantha's mom probably likes manual transmission trucks, too, so her hands would be extra busy and would be better off using her tail tip to work the pedals.


[04-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I like the idea of lamias driving trucks


[04-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The ultimate Americans


[04-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
No step incarnate


[04-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That,


[04-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’m looking forward to reading this story


[04-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and "What in the fuck is big enough and can haul enough and can be modified to stay running when we drive them"


[04-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But yeah, really souped up large trucks. Mama Snake probably did mechanic shit in between getting her snussy filled with eggs

Speaking of, didn't we talk about Samantha being an only child?


[04-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not much in the way of snussy-delving for dear ol' da' then, eh? Wonder why they didn't have more kids.


[04-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[04-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
She was an only child


[04-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[04-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Good question


[04-Oct-20 10:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Looking up cheapest food in America, basically


[04-Oct-20 10:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
looks like lard's fuckin' up there


[04-Oct-20 10:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
35 cents per 2,000 calories


[04-Oct-20 10:50 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Fats of all types have extremely high calories


[04-Oct-20 10:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Rice, 41 cents per 2,000 calories.


[04-Oct-20 10:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So... $3.48 per day, if she only ate rice.


[04-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s not bad....


[04-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But still


[04-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Need more than rice


[04-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Lard fried rice


[04-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup. I could see Rice being a staple for them though. Prolly in a positive way, for Snussy Prime (Samantha is Snussy Omega)


[04-Oct-20 10:52 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Pancake mix, going by this website at least, is $1.06 per 2,000 calories

Hmm. I would call them ||fren||


[04-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Chimbo#3420

[04-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Snicks


[04-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Cultural thing probably


[04-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Who knows?


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Chimbo#3420
eat a lot then spend a whole lot of time digesting


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe some lamia are too busy for that one big meal and nap and find it better to eat multiple smaller meals


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm gonna say it's a mix of culture and nature, but that it's no huge problem for them to change that.


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Chimbo#3420
similar to how snakes can eat pretty large prey


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Chimbo#3420
then digest for a while


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That was sort of the idea with the after-meal naps thing.


[04-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
For lamias, restaurant supply centers would be a god send

goddamn


[04-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That doesn't even feel real. Surely they're talking about the absolute cheapest possible shit you can find


[04-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

I'm sure the snakes would rejoice.

>Chocolate milk is a much loved staple in many households


[04-Oct-20 10:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Flour's also fairly cheap. I could see a Lamia loading bags of flour into her truck bed two or four at a time.


[04-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A single gallon of whole milk had 2,300 calories


[04-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I've never lived in a small city or remote area before, really


[04-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Chocolate milk has 3,300 calories a gallon


[04-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If you don't have shit like costco or walmart, how hard is it to find cheap food still


[04-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[04-Oct-20 11:00 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Pretty damn hard sometimes


[04-Oct-20 11:01 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Delivery would be necessary


[04-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Wonder if they'd have to set up a whole truck to make it cost effective


[04-Oct-20 11:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or maybe just make one very long journey once every week or two or three


[04-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine that would be one big reason for Lamia to continue the intense farming and living-off-the-land traditions and practices they had in Vietlamia


[04-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
They could have their own Semitruck


[04-Oct-20 11:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Gotta pay those food bills somehow


[04-Oct-20 11:08 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, hauling, partially. Separate from merely being strong-for-a-human, they've got really immense hauling capability for a sentient and sapient race.


[04-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
More than orcs, I should imagine.. *maybe* the same as Giants, depending on how Giants are written in the future


[04-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They move absolutely silently, if they want to, without difficulty in that at all.


[04-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Chimbo#3420
So they're rendered obsolete by pickup trucks then?


[04-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Chimbo#3420
Idk


[04-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They're able to climb up surfaces that are very intensely sloped, ones that a human would find quite difficult


[04-Oct-20 11:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>rendered obsolete by pickups
I mean, can a pickup haul my bed down the staircase?


[04-Oct-20 11:10 PM] Chimbo#3420

[04-Oct-20 11:10 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael Remind me how long hte tail is. I always forget the numbers.

I'm bad at remembering the conversions


[04-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Chimbo#3420
But yeah
I'd imagine that tail gives them a good amount of agility


[04-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Chimbo#3420
could be used as a kind of counterweight


[04-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Chimbo#3420
and it has a bunch of muscle


[04-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It does. They have a faster ground move speed than humans by a little, enough to be noticeable and maybe be a problem for human enemies in some situations,


[04-Oct-20 11:11 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but their swimming speed is very very high. They can swim faster than they can sprint, easily.


[04-Oct-20 11:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Probably allows them to climb better than humans can on certain things. Trees, maybe concrete pillars


[04-Oct-20 11:13 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
while also being able to shoot at the same time with both hands free.


[04-Oct-20 11:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Is Snussy Prime from Vietlamia originally, @Battlebrothermichael


[04-Oct-20 11:18 PM] Chimbo#3420

"love you long time"


[04-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's a good question. Their native language certainly sounds vietnamese-y, so, the ones who don't speak English that well probably do.


[04-Oct-20 11:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit I think it would be funny. But that also leaves the question of where did the rattler genes come from


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also come to think of it, HarpyAnon takes place like 30 years after Konvergence, right? Samantha the Sheriff Lamia is like what, 20 - 28 years old, give or take? So her mother couldn't possibly have been from America, or grown up with English


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So it would probably be easier if she was just a Rattler


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well, her mother could be a Rattler.


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Harpy takes place about 30 years after


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Didn't we talk about Vietlamia having some Rattlers as well?


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yeee


[04-Oct-20 11:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
In the desert areas


[04-Oct-20 11:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The mother probably was a teen when SHTF


[04-Oct-20 11:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
uhhh


[04-Oct-20 11:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe found her way to the Mojave somehow


[04-Oct-20 11:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Wonder how that would've gone, Lamia being so insular and all.


[04-Oct-20 11:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
ANd if the mother's really big into cars, and has been a mechanic for a long while, we can assume either she left home specifically because of the draw of vehicle mechanics, or.... some other reason.


[04-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmmm


[04-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But, that does open a few doors, decision-wise.


[04-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe her family estate ended up in the Mojave?


[04-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Only survivor?


[04-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Nothing to do but wander?


[04-Oct-20 11:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But that’s a little sad


[04-Oct-20 11:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oof. Hm, maybe. Maybe she's incredibly free-spirited as far as Vietlamia natives go, and she had the opportunity to go, and chose to. Or... maybe Papa Ekans needed her services for something, in some way.


[04-Oct-20 11:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Being Rattlers, implies she's from the deserty areas... being from the deserty areas implies that they make their living in some way beyond just farming. So either very intensive hunting, or merchant work, orrrr combat work mostly for the King, ooorrrrrrr they were craftsmen


[04-Oct-20 11:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and floated entirely on trade with distant neighbors directly, and trade with merchants buying their shit wholesale...


[04-Oct-20 11:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[04-Oct-20 11:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Annnnddd maybe some Nobles - hell, maybe even royalty - buying their shit direct on occasion.


[04-Oct-20 11:25 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe her dad (sams granddad) was the town sheriff for these lamia?


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hence the whole sheriff thing being in the genes


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Since the girl ends up a mechanic, we can assume that her trade, and perhaps her family's trade, was something related to metal work or machines.


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or something of that nature


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Since Lamias don't have machines... metal work.


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Now we have to wonder, what kind of low-tech metal work type bullshit is there, that somebody would view as useful for modern IRL machines.


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe she became obsessed with machines because she had never seen them?


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The answers that come to my mind are a specialization in small parts metal work,


[04-Oct-20 11:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and from there, the rationale for that in Vietlamia is...


[04-Oct-20 11:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Complicated puzzles and trinkets manufacture. The classic IRL European word for such a career was "toy maker". Toy meaning, basically, complex small thing, in it's OG context.


[04-Oct-20 11:27 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Assuming I go with the idea of Mom has useful skill > Mr.Ekans pays for her services long term > She decides to marry him along the way > Lamia family agrees to allow her to depart from them


[04-Oct-20 11:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Similar to how the US did it's whole uhhh, all the states may leave if they want to thing,


[04-Oct-20 11:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
until that fucking Nigger lincoln fucked it all up


[04-Oct-20 11:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia can leave as they please, even cut family ties as they please, and expect all their own personal shit to go along with them without being forcefully stopped.


[04-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But, additionally, when an Estate grows to full, a Lamia family too big, a really big an special and rare event happens where some chunk of the family splits off and leaves, making a new Estate elsewhere. Traditionally, very far elsewhere.


[04-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's their equivalent of 1910's niggas "going to the new world"


[04-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Despite not being *that* impractical to see eachother again, it mostly wasn't expected.


[04-Oct-20 11:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Because >insular af


[04-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s possible that her family saw this as a great way to expand the estate


[04-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Have her go out


[04-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Find a hubby


[04-Oct-20 11:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[04-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>Town Sheriff for these Lamia
Interesting idea, though a Sheriff in Vietlamia and a Sheriff in, what, the Mojave, are two very different things. That being said... Maybe her brother or some direct relation of hers - The mother, that is - was the Sheriff of the area. Sam got told that when she was a little girl and thought it was super duper radical and wow I love cowboys can we go to Vietlamia dad, huh? Can we? And then when they finally did a year or two later she's.. Happy. But a little disappointed to find out that Vietlamia Sheriffs mostly act as Judges + Do lots of snake paperwork + settle lots of land or property disputes


[04-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So all the times she went with him, he didn't even carry a gun, or even a sword, just a short spear slung across his back, and a rice hat.


[04-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Snaperwork


[04-Oct-20 11:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And it involved a lot of walking through muddy fields finding and counting 300 year old property boundry stones


[04-Oct-20 11:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But it was wholesome all the same

[04-Oct-20 11:36 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine the Vietlamia people had cigarettes, but they were noble-shit, and the common man smoked it out of a pipe.

Oh, that reminds me, there'd probably be official government niggas, functionaries basically, that go around and literally meet every Lamia sheriff in the country, as well as many of the Patriarchs, and the same for all the military commanders, w/e, since they mostly-only trust individuals that they have met, or that have been vouched for


[04-Oct-20 11:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So maybe they've got a functionary snake with them vouching that these niggas ain't lyin'.

[04-Oct-20 11:51 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the adventure in that land ends, she's pregnant, they have a big ol' Lamia wedding which is a huge fucking deal,

[04-Oct-20 11:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[04-Oct-20 11:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ekans doesn't have any scales to shine or lacquer, and he's certainly not going to get his asshole waxed,


[04-Oct-20 11:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
so he gets his mom to send his father's old wedding outfit from the late 70's, and it barely arrives in time for the wedding

[05-Oct-20 12:01 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway Lamia weddings.. I imagine the bride and groom would normally have their scales waxed in the traditional way. They'd have very elaborate silk clothing, the finer and shinier the better. There would be a dowry that goes both ways. There would be a lot of vetting ahead of time, as well as buttering up all parties. There would probably be traditions since the very early days of their existence as a species stemming from their deep suspicion of outsiders. In the early days a lot of the guests wouldn't even be guests, they would be armed guards, in case the other party was going to attack, or if this was some sort of elaborate trick. This was during the days when the individual Lamia estates might not have known their neighbors much at all... but the siren's song of snussy calls all the same.


[05-Oct-20 12:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That probably eventually turned into a sort of honor guard thing, and then later in some regional areas was spun as "Ah, these 4 most-trusted warriors(and later, when they became much more hunters than they were warriors, maybe just... Trusted village men of standing. Sort of like a Best Man in a way.) are here from both sides to make sure nothing goes wrong on your most important day"


[05-Oct-20 12:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which, in some regions, and for the Lamia families that are specialized in war and combat especially, it's a good time for a show of skill, and games. Wrestling, sword-chopping-competitions, archery, etc.


[05-Oct-20 12:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oohhhh


[05-Oct-20 12:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The trader niggas wouldn't really do that much, the farmer niggas in the heartland with few threats wouldn't do that much, but the niggas in the deserts probably would, since hunting and even defense was a much bigger deal


[05-Oct-20 12:04 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Almost make it a festival in itself


[05-Oct-20 12:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmhmm, in a way.


[05-Oct-20 12:05 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Almost like... the Nervous guards staring eachother down like a meeting between leaders of two warring nations, turned into a slightly more up beat honor guard, weapons and armor and etc,


[05-Oct-20 12:05 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
then to a sort of half assed honor guard. "Oh, yeah, my cousin's getting married next week. Can you shine up this dagger to make it extra sparkly for me?"


[05-Oct-20 12:06 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Another ornament on the belt.

[05-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I had a few ideas for Dwarven weddings that I need to make sure I don't accidentally apply to Lamia also


[05-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I feel like they'd have quirky ways of calling some of the meta stuff, too


[05-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[05-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A marriage where the woman is already pregnant is a "farmer's marriage"


[05-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[05-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[05-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
*how do you know?*


[05-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
“Well, this *is* their third child already.”


[05-Oct-20 12:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm... Not necessarily. Lamia are somewhat autistic, after all. Many of these marriages are agreed upon by both parties, but are ultimately arranged, and may proceed fairly slowly. *Especially* if they're both part of very populated Estates.


[05-Oct-20 12:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Imagine fucking your gf in your house when your mom's home.


[05-Oct-20 12:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Maybe they had her install a spare part they had, that required a lot of very fine fitting work- idunno cars idunno how that'd work but w/e - and her vast experience with polishing metal and making puzzles for nobles came in handy in a huge way, so they hired her on as the closest thing to a mechanic they had in the region.


[05-Oct-20 12:12 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@TruFear what would a part like that be?


[05-Oct-20 12:12 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, Mama Snake took Ekans' last name, not the other way around, so they are in no way a continuation of the Clan/Estate that mama snake came from, under snake law.


[05-Oct-20 12:12 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ah


[05-Oct-20 12:12 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A brand new offshoot


[05-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ehhh..... Technically, under snake law, a continuation of another clan. The Ekans clan... Although, that is literally a last name Ekans-kun made up


[05-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
so


[05-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Just be happy Vietlamia doesn't have Jews to muddy these waters further.


[05-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I imagine it is going to be a little awkward for Sam and Anon to show up at Mom and Ekans home


[05-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Especially after all that


[05-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh? How'ya figure?


[05-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Well


[05-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The town she worked as sheriff for blew up


[05-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
After letting in outsiders


[05-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Which is a huge fucky uppy for a Lamia


[05-Oct-20 12:15 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh. Mom's had  society beat out a lot of her Vietlamia autism by this point. 30 years in the US ought'a do that to a gal. She probably realizes the town blowing up wasn't *just* because outsiders existed


[05-Oct-20 12:15 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And her father understands properly that this Anon had *nothing* to do with that *other* Anon


[05-Oct-20 12:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Mom would probably be confused by the anon names


[05-Oct-20 12:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[05-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Massive feast


[05-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[05-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Even more than usual


[05-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[05-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The ceremony could involve something like a candle burning?


[05-Oct-20 12:20 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe. They do have Wax and probably employ candles a fair bit.


[05-Oct-20 12:20 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh, something I hadn't thought about until now, I wonder if they're good at grinding glass.


[05-Oct-20 12:20 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Polishing feels like it'd be similar to grinding glass, right? 


[05-Oct-20 12:20 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I imagine they could exchange candles of some sort, maybe a shared candle is at the altar and then they both light their own candles with it?


[05-Oct-20 12:21 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
'Couple things at any rate, do they invoke God during this ceremony? Do they try to have like, themes of self determination and freedoms and all that?


[05-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmm


[05-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe invoke god in a mystical sense


[05-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Binding them


[05-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Combining their freedoms?


[05-Oct-20 12:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, maybe. For Harpies, this is a permanent thing, for Dwarves, they're probably very heavily bound by like, the autistic grinding-two-rocks-together-forever metaphor for Dwarven society


[05-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Combining their freedoms feels a bit odd for the Lamia though.


[05-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There's probably a big component where both parties have to state publicly and fully that they're doing this marriage of their own free will.


[05-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The "I Do" 's, except very much more serious.


[05-Oct-20 12:34 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm wondering if this takes place on their land, or if it takes place at hte local snake church


[05-Oct-20 12:37 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Attmouse You got any ideas Attmouse-kun?


[05-Oct-20 12:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I would think it would take place on their own land


[05-Oct-20 12:38 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Where there’s that trust aspect


[05-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe, but if the ceremony originated during a time of great distrust, you'd think they'd want to have it somewhere neutral.


[05-Oct-20 12:40 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If they're concerned enough to have armed fully-geared warriors on hand, you'd think they are concerned. If they're concerned, would they really allow this to happen on the enemy's territory?


[05-Oct-20 12:40 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That being said, maybe that was back then. Maybe most snake marriages now (or, y'know, right before Konvergence) happen at one of the two Estates.


[05-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine most of the invoking the White Snake thing would have a lot of snake-centric language.


[05-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A lot of use of the words Lamia to refer to the two being married, rather than the more general 'people'.


[05-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Might make Ekans' marriage somewhat of a funny clunky thing.

@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit what if the lamias bring a jar of dirt from their own land as a wedding gift to the neutral land? A sort of symbolic “handing over their land”.


[05-Oct-20 01:00 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Could be also where they dump the jar of dirt out and mix the dirts together


[05-Oct-20 01:00 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A sort of symbolic union


[05-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm.... Maybe the jar of dirt is a wedding present to the individual going to the new family


[05-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[05-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[05-Oct-20 01:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So in a sense their land is still with them and providing for them


[05-Oct-20 01:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not so much a goft from one family to another, one estate to another, but instead a gift from wifes old estate to the wife.


[05-Oct-20 01:05 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or husband, if applicable


[05-Oct-20 01:09 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit  yes, that is a good idea. It’s both a literal and figurative thing.

Traditional lamias and Rattler lamia


[05-Oct-20 04:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup. Though, I would think that Lamia in the Americas wouldn't necessarily just be Rattlers.


[05-Oct-20 04:20 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
also, Attmouse is getting a bit overboard
the Vietlamias are just a combo of trad Vietnam and libertarian USA
basically, what South Vietnam should have been


[05-Oct-20 04:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
You'd get some that live similarly, in certain parts of South America, to the Vietlamia niggas, and of course Rattlers and maybe one or two other sub races would be much better suited to North America than most Vietlamian niggas


[05-Oct-20 04:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but I imagine you'd still get similar types on occasion.

[05-Oct-20 05:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
There's an idea for their God. Maybe dragons, baby dragons especially, being hatched in groups of a thousand or more eggs at once, have a very strong instinct to not smash up eggs. So maybe, Whitesnake-kun being stark white, somehow fooled some baby dragons or dragons generally into thinking he was just a big egg.


[05-Oct-20 05:35 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Feels like a backwater East Asian legend, I think, which is my intent.


[05-Oct-20 05:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Was talking to 8-Track about the Lamias elsewhere and we got to talking about the occasional dragon incursions that still take place from time to time. It's a goal of sorts for the Lamia to find where the dragons laid their huge clutches of eggs, but it's normally not really an attainable goal as they're laid very far away in territory that is mostly wild, and filled with tribalistic Oni and such. Maybe Goblins as well, 'think on that in the geographical context of Fankasia Asia later.


[05-Oct-20 05:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, he made me realized I never mentioned much about Vietlamia armies. I figure there's a handful of Lamia families and estates, mostly up North near the capital, that specialize in combat and warfare. Most of the time they're used to protect the King and the Royal family, and the Nobles. Then they're used to protect from Oni/other more pedestrian threats. If there's none of those on hand they might also be used to deal with particularly troublesome wild animal infestations somewhere in and around the country. In addition to all this, they're there to deal with dragon incursions. Almost always just one baby dragon wandering into the country, fucking stuff up in it's animalistic way, as per the preestablished lore on Fankasia Asia.


[05-Oct-20 05:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, something kind of fun that I thought of was groups of these Military Lamia going out on what amount to LRRP's. They leave the relative peaceful and organized lands of Vietlamia, and head out into the wild territory of the Oni. Most of it really is just recon, looking at the major Oni shitheaps here and there, looking for signs of a Dragon being drawn there by the activity and the noise and the smoke that accompanies sapient life. Hoping to spot Dragons long before they make it into Vietlamia and start fucking shit up.


[05-Oct-20 05:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's all very chance-y, though. These individual baby dragons may only show up a single time in 50 years, or a new one might pop in every year for 10 years straight. Some Kings and their administrations take it very seriously, some probably didn't and paid the price.


[05-Oct-20 05:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

@Battlebrothermichael the idea with Dwarves is I was thinking some outside nation could have tried getting Vietlamia's one major important resource - Adamantine - and the Vietlamia refused in full. Maybe such deals of extreme significance - the equivalent of handing a few nukes over to a third world shithole for instance - require many decades, maybe the entire reign of a Vietlamia King, which is way way slower than this other party wants. So they stir the other sapients of that continent - Goblins and Oni maybe, flesh that bit out later - into going to war with the Lamia in a bigger way than usual. I didn't want to go with High Elves because I feel it's a lil too expected and some unironic diversity is good, so I figured the next most realistic canidate is the Dwarves. Or *some* Dwarves at the least.


[06-Oct-20 11:37 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe niggas who need it so quickly to fulfill some prophecy in their religion, something interesting like that, w/e.


[06-Oct-20 11:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[06-Oct-20 11:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
For a story?


[06-Oct-20 11:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Could be interesting


[06-Oct-20 11:38 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Could straight up be the Oni


[06-Oct-20 11:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
For lore tbh, to rationalize the Lamia officially sanctioning and encouraging humans to come over and sell their spooky fire sticks and maybe dk some contract killing of their own


[06-Oct-20 11:40 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>straight up be the oni
What, and not an outside force?maybe, but it's odd that the oni suddenly step up after hunnids or maybe thousands of years of only being a moderate threat to Vietlamia,


[06-Oct-20 11:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Easily explained by certain specific Oni leaders being propped up and supplied by soke external group


[06-Oct-20 11:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which overall ties in with the Samantha Ekans story, distantly, in rationalizing her parents meeting.


[06-Oct-20 11:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Beyond those reasons, it's also more fun I think. It adds mystery and intrigue, as opposed to the small mystery of "why are the onis so organized lately"


[06-Oct-20 11:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmmm


[06-Oct-20 11:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sounds interesting


[06-Oct-20 11:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Interesting, sure, but suitable to propose as the canon for these groups and that region?


[06-Oct-20 11:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s what I’m thinking about


[06-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Because yes it’s interesting for a story


[06-Oct-20 11:59 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But I’m not sure as canon


[07-Oct-20 12:00 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which parts are you against?


[07-Oct-20 12:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
See


[07-Oct-20 12:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’m not sure if it’s in character for the dwarves to do that


[07-Oct-20 12:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That’s what I’m hung up on


[07-Oct-20 12:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Dwarves are more autistic and keep to their own mountains


[07-Oct-20 12:02 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Rather than actively going out to fuck other races over


[07-Oct-20 12:02 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, it could be a sect of Dwarves. Like uhhh, ooollllllddd school republicans and accepting Israel with such open arms specifically because of biblical prophesy, iirc.


[07-Oct-20 12:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Could be a some of the decision makers want the green metal for religious reasons, nigger snakes wont give it in 100 years but they need it by a deadline, so fuck'm destabilize the snake shits by supplying money and arms.


[07-Oct-20 12:06 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I feel the dwarves would just do a straight up religious war if that was the case


[07-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Overland-kun weighed in on the Dwarf actions and could see it happen.


[07-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Rather than subterfuge and trickery


[07-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More a stand up fight than trying to CIA


[07-Oct-20 12:07 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, it might be the majority of the Dwarves wouldn't want to. Plus, it's cheaper and easier even under ideal circumstances to finance and arm a bunch of gorillas  than to send your own people


[07-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
S'practical purposes in that


[07-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Plus, saving face.


[07-Oct-20 12:08 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe Vietlamia has a treaty with XYZ and the Dwarves dont wanna piss off XYZ right now


[07-Oct-20 12:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[07-Oct-20 12:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Why would the Oni agree to even do it on the first place though?


[07-Oct-20 12:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Sure they get paid


[07-Oct-20 12:10 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But what do they have to gain?


[07-Oct-20 12:11 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The wild unruly bands of Oni have a deep hatred for the Sn*keoids and have had almost continuous conflict in varying intensities for as long as anyone on their end can remember. That, or maybe goblins, those details can be sorted out properly with thought later.


[07-Oct-20 12:12 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like convincing the sovs to go to war against nazi germany 2.0. Not that difficult of a speech check 'that.


[07-Oct-20 12:13 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I can see it happening....


[07-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Still seems a little out of place


[07-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I say write it and see how it goes


[07-Oct-20 12:14 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Plus, their lands are tamed, comparatively. Their food is the best, their alcohol is the best, their roads are the best, their houses are the best, and they have a lot of valuables worth stealing. So say, idunno, 5 or 10 different Oni tribes get united under one heavily financed and armed war chief.


[07-Oct-20 12:16 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, writing it out into a story would be odd. I'd be inclined to write it like a history book tbh.


[07-Oct-20 12:16 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not sure if thaf would be autistic on my part though.


[07-Oct-20 12:19 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Something somewhat interesting might be that the Oni keep Goblin slaves, which the Lamia think of as cringe


[07-Oct-20 12:20 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Something to run in and soak up damage and Lamia arrows, maybe get a few lucky dagger-stabs in while the Oni and their less-unloyal and more skillful Goblin slaves wait to storm the line.


[07-Oct-20 12:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oohhh


[07-Oct-20 12:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A history type thing would be good


[07-Oct-20 12:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was wondering on the idea that perhaps it was a religious revolution amongst some Ocean going Dwarves on an Island or some coast somewhere who sort of leaped before they looked, and if they dont get the adamantine within a certain time frame, their prophecy falls to pieces.


[07-Oct-20 12:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Almost like the briefing document Cas has about the high elves


[07-Oct-20 12:24 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmhmm, though I don't want to just copy him, so itd be somewhat differently themed.


[07-Oct-20 12:25 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hell.


[07-Oct-20 12:25 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I could even see it as the religious revolution was somewhat bloody, so they don't have a lot of man power no matter what, so another reason to supply the Oni and not attack directly.


[07-Oct-20 12:27 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Plus even if they did take over Vietlamia themselves, a very difficult task in an unfamiliar and strange foreign land, with a spear point hidden amongst every jungle bush and at the lip of every tunnel, at the end of the day they may still have to contend with Oni incursion.


[07-Oct-20 12:27 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Better to hand the Oni's the only thing they've ever wanted in exchange for some gay green rocks.


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>ocean going dwarves


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Now


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hold on a sec


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
How the fuck does that work


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I am intrigued


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee,


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Care to explain?


[07-Oct-20 12:28 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Firstly, nothing new under the sun,


[07-Oct-20 12:29 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I had the idea when talking to Overland weeks ago, and then saw someine esle talk about his similar idea he had before I did


[07-Oct-20 12:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I'm thinking.. Well. Prior to this Lamia factor in my ideas, I had thought perhaps they were the first in Fankasia to discover that ||metal can float  ||


[07-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmmmm


[07-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Go on


[07-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Piracy dwarves?


[07-Oct-20 12:31 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And that perhaps they lived on one or many floating platforms, though now that I think about it, maybe a cooler idea might be..


[07-Oct-20 12:32 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They had a major cataclysmic event, almost all of their territory sunk beneath the waves following months of massive earth quakes


[07-Oct-20 12:33 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And that now they live on their territory still, just, it's a lot more wet and there's a lot more sea monsters.


[07-Oct-20 12:33 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Now


[07-Oct-20 12:33 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I can definitely *sea* piracy dwarves in boats and shit going around stirring up trouble

{Reactions}


[07-Oct-20 12:33 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Maybe even work in the religious revolution niggas. Some kinda cult that came from that over the course of maybe half of a dwarfs lifetime.


[07-Oct-20 12:36 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, maybe this great calamity had spurred them on to developing great leaps in certain tech. Crude air lines and then crude diving bells and then crude diving suits, air supplied with surface bellows, their goal of incredible practical use.


[07-Oct-20 12:36 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Now


[07-Oct-20 12:36 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Is this before or after the Konvergance?


[07-Oct-20 12:37 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Recover their treasures, their vital tools and equipment, their culture, in addition to trying to find out why this happened, and maybe at times ||just to find shit to sell for food that isnt fish and clothes that aren't wet||


[07-Oct-20 12:38 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Before. The cataclysm maybe...


[07-Oct-20 12:38 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Somewhere between 100 and 500ish years prior. This depends on dwarf lore I gotta research later.


[07-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What do you mean by crude airlines?


[07-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The religious revolution amongst them? Maybe... Several decadea prior to konvergence


[07-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I can see crude driving stuff maybe


[07-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But airlines seems a little advanced


[07-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Literally just a hose in a dorf's mouth,  before theyd developrd proper gear.


[07-Oct-20 12:39 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Unironically diving tech before, what, 1750


[07-Oct-20 12:40 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oiled sheeps intestines or w/e real niggas used way back when.


[07-Oct-20 12:42 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, Dwarves had researched boat shit earlier, since they were coastal, so they had those which kept this particular Dwarf nation alive. They had a small sliver of land left, bordered by really powerful niggas whomst would obliterate them if they tried taking some of their land.


[07-Oct-20 12:45 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So they love on their boats, use dwarven autism, fervor, IQ, and hatred of failure to scrape together a life. A bunch of boats anchored together turned into a floating city, turned into a low-end functional nation again, they did diving shit and were eventually able to salvage shit from their now-underwater mountain to build supports into the top of their old mountain, steel beams mostly, and once again they had something akin to land in their old mountainhome.


[07-Oct-20 12:46 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Long story short, this was the first step in a spooky cult's prophecies, and it went somewhat downhill from there.


[07-Oct-20 12:46 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:excuseme:


[07-Oct-20 12:46 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
This is cool


[07-Oct-20 12:46 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Would they be friends with the Dark elves?


[07-Oct-20 12:47 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Considering dark elves are just chocolate flavored pirate elves


[07-Oct-20 12:47 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Next step in the prophecy was fullfilled, the drowned King of the Mountain would taste air again - they recovered his corpse


[07-Oct-20 12:47 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Fire would burst from the seas and we will start our great forges once again - a volcano stuxk its dick out of the water, complete with precum lava


[07-Oct-20 12:48 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee that might do. I think that the high elves might view this legitimately high tech for fankasia diving shit with major concern. Maybe they gave this cult a few helping hands.


[07-Oct-20 12:49 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like maybe that wasnt the king, but a dwarf who looked like him who they drowned, dressed up, and either had some dwarves plant in the mountain to be soon found, or they just bribed or threatened or blackmailed the diving dwarves on shift that day.


[07-Oct-20 12:50 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And the lava thing was just luck + vague wording being in their favor


[07-Oct-20 12:52 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The end prophecy is their main prophet nigga or w/e has to walk through a river of lava up to his ankles without burning. So they need Adamantine to fashion adamantine high-boots, so the nigga will be able to technically do it on the shallowest flow.


[07-Oct-20 12:54 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:Jerry:


[07-Oct-20 12:55 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The snake niggers don't do no fuckin' deals with no unknowns though, especially semi-crazy lookin' ones with some kooky religious prophecy shit. The Vietlamia process for this shit takes a lot of time, years and years, *especially* for the scarce, ultra-valuable, ultra useful adamantine. They *need* this shit go fight dragons, and it's very important culturally too. It'd be akin to the Sovs selling off their lewis guns from their revolution that were seen as cultural treasures, besides.


[07-Oct-20 12:57 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So evsn tho all the dwarves need is like, two Lamia condom's worth of adamantine, the Lamia will not give in. The trade delegation very quickly - a few days - descends into shouting matches with the King's Merchant even. They're expelled, bringing the count up to 110, and the Dwarves quickly turn their eyes and tightly clutched coin purses toward the Lamia's closest major enemy.


[07-Oct-20 01:00 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[07-Oct-20 01:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
This sounds like an interesting historical thing


[07-Oct-20 01:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I want to see it written out


[07-Oct-20 01:01 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
This in the form of lots and lots of high quality dwarven weapons, only slight blood pitting (this is an /msg/ joke), lots of gold and jewels, as well as the best tacticians this particular group of Dwarves has. Maybe even some of their best units, holy warriors crisp and deflowered towards war and violence, and armored as extensively and skillfully as any Lamia.


[07-Oct-20 01:01 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Wargunlock what do you think of this?


[07-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
This also allows eventual armament from the humans to the Vietlamia, when Konvergence happens. Maybe... A year or two after konvergence, and 3 - 8 years after the start of the Oni's much increased hostilities.


[07-Oct-20 01:05 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The King is finally going panic mode with these Oni incursions n shit, and he's willing to both empty his royal coffers *and* expedite the usual slow Vietlamia... Er.... Mercantile Courting period.


[07-Oct-20 01:05 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Whiiiiich


[07-Oct-20 01:06 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Results in Hueys and M60's and M1 helmets sold to the Lamia and M2 carbines and M2 brownings and M79 grenade launchers and M16's and pineapple grenades and radio operators and M1D snipers and claymores and M14's and BAR's and recoilless rifles and 1911's and garands and Jeeps to make use of the many narrow jungle roads and and and....

excuseme (3) 

[07-Oct-20 01:14 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So this would take place


[07-Oct-20 01:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Soon after the /k/onvergance?


[07-Oct-20 01:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
During?


[07-Oct-20 01:15 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Right after?


[07-Oct-20 01:16 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Probably mostly summed up as "and since budgetary concerns were at the forefront of the companies considerations, and the resulting tactical advantage so great regardless, it was decided to arm the Vietlamia people with surplus arms fromcthe Malaysian and Philipine governments, who in wake of their own problems resulting from the Konvergence, were more than happy to accept the companies offer."


[07-Oct-20 01:16 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Uh, 2 years or sonafter the Konvergemcr first happens.


[07-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Give or take. Maybe 3 or 4.


[07-Oct-20 01:17 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
For Human involvement I mean.


[07-Oct-20 01:19 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I figure right after Konvergence some niggas unironically on a bus accidentally got isekai'd into Vietlamia, captured, and eventually taught the Vietlamia officials enough English to properly deal with the human adventurers who made their way to the country, who then relayed the need for Military Advisement to interested parties in our worldm


[07-Oct-20 01:19 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And/or maybe the language issue was also helped via the Royal family's strong magics.


[07-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
This is a big hmmmmmmm


[07-Oct-20 01:21 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[07-Oct-20 01:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958

[07-Oct-20 01:23 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And work


[07-Oct-20 01:24 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmm. Is there some chronological issue with 2 - 4 years after konvergence?


[07-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Oh nah


[07-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not much I’d think


[07-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
After a year maybe some alphabet boys would start looking for things to do in fantasy land


[07-Oct-20 01:29 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
In four years definitely would want to get involved


[07-Oct-20 01:30 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I was thinkin' this is a PMC. Maybe one of a few who got lucky enough to make the King or the main Merchant nigga or w/e like him, specifically, more than the other PMC's representatives


[07-Oct-20 01:32 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Got some cash in advance, bought the milsurp for fucking pennies basically, and started enjoying beers and steaks grilled on a burn barrel accompanied by some choice snussy in between teaching Lamia how to shoot straight


[07-Oct-20 01:34 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
My midnight in-bed calculations tell me each Huey can carry 3 - 4 Lamia plus light gear plus a human pilot.


[07-Oct-20 02:23 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also, I talked about fashionable tail-caps being worn by Lamia. Prolly ones to emphasize slender appearance for females, and a wider bulkier appearance for males.


[07-Oct-20 10:31 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Wargunlock what do you think of that thing harpy pinged'ya for


[07-Oct-20 10:31 AM] Wargunlock#0868
I have not had the chance to look at it, my autism was focused elsewhere.


[07-Oct-20 11:00 AM] Wargunlock#0868
This is great but we need to have this contained in a single lore document.


[07-Oct-20 11:00 AM] Wargunlock#0868
Ill give it an indepth read once I get off of work.


[07-Oct-20 11:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Fucking Kevin Goddamnit I’m going to try and start writing up the doc soon


[07-Oct-20 11:18 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Might be done by the end of the week


[07-Oct-20 11:19 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
@Kachel when would be a good time to VC about the floating island territories?


[07-Oct-20 11:20 AM] Kachel#6608
I could maybe do it now, I'll just have to do some stuff.


[07-Oct-20 11:20 AM] Kachel#6608
Maybe in 10 min.


[07-Oct-20 11:21 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yee. I figure this war here is mostly a separate thing. The only important part of it for Lamia culture is "Some Dwarves got super pissed and started funding a proxy war", just better written than that of course. The war proper can be written about in its own doc.

I would think gold rarity

So, say the Vietlamia find a vein of this shit, they make an entire mine to get the stuff out of the ground. How much do they get?


[07-Oct-20 09:18 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If not a bit rarer


[07-Oct-20 09:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Nanana, shit's meant to be way more rare than gold. Dwarves are going to war for this shit, after all.


[07-Oct-20 09:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Some, anyway.


[07-Oct-20 09:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Twice gold rarity?


[07-Oct-20 09:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Gold's rare but everybody's got it.


[07-Oct-20 09:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ehh... Maybe. The idea is discovering it in Vietlamia is a huge windfall, but discovering it anywhere else is an insanely rare and unlikely thing.


[07-Oct-20 09:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
And suffice to say, one does not go to war for something any ol' Kingdom has a literal room full of, necessarily.


[07-Oct-20 09:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So that requires it to be quite rare.


[07-Oct-20 09:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Idunno, that's my outlook on it. Y'think I'm going too hard on the rarity?


[07-Oct-20 09:21 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Mmmmm


[07-Oct-20 09:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I think it might be a good rarity


[07-Oct-20 09:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Especially if it’s sacred


[07-Oct-20 09:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Sacred to some. Dwarves generally, in a sense. The rarer or more valuable the metal is, the more they consider it spiritually important, though not in a quantifiable way probably..


[07-Oct-20 09:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Super important to the Lamia. Maybe not Sacred.. Maybe.. There's a creation myth for it too. That uh.. Ooh,


[07-Oct-20 09:26 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The remains of the White Snake's skin sheds. Turned green from age and rot and yet still another gift of extreme importance from him.


[07-Oct-20 09:27 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>mfw lamia just use it to make nice plows


[07-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
That's probably what the first ones did. The Royal Groundsman of the King of Vietlamia


[07-Oct-20 09:28 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the highest paid Groundsman in all of ||vietlamia||


[07-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:Jerry:


[07-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Nigga had this weird hard rock, found it in the earth. Blacksmith told him it looked kinda like iron. Tried forging it, was an incredible bitch to forge. Farmer originally wanted some beautiful green hedge trimmers to compliment his natural snake-part pigment, but that proved to be too much of a bitch.


[07-Oct-20 09:29 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So he got a plow instead.


[07-Oct-20 09:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Dragon attack. Groundsman's storage building burnt to cinders. Everything in ruin or in a slag heap stuck to the rock block floor of the building


[07-Oct-20 09:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
except that fuckin' plow. Good as new. Minus the burnt-off handles.


[07-Oct-20 09:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
This shouldn’t make me laugh as much as it did

haha


[07-Oct-20 09:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
"I JUST HAD IT INSURED AND IT'S STILL FUCKING GOOD? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE MONEY-SNAKES PAY OUT FOR DRAGON-LOSS CLAIMS???"


[07-Oct-20 09:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I have consumed. Anyway, I'm thinking most Smiths aren't as good as Dwarf smiths, and Lamia are no exception to that, as a whole.


[07-Oct-20 09:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Plus, maybe they don't know the magic to work the metal easily, like Dwarves and Elves have.


[07-Oct-20 09:57 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The thing is, should the metal just be automatically immune to dragonfire and shit generally, or should that take a magical spell in of itself?


[07-Oct-20 09:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I’d think naturally it would be very resistant


[07-Oct-20 09:57 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Which is why people want it in the first place


[07-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And if you can put even more special stuff on it afterwords


[07-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It makes it even better


[07-Oct-20 09:58 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh, people want it in the first place for many reasons. It's just great material to make armor and blades out of for starters, and it's also super acceptable of Magical attunement.


[07-Oct-20 09:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So a normal low-skill mage can maybe do some enchantment, if he tries hard, on some stuff, and the enchantment would be of certain power


[07-Oct-20 09:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but for adamantine? Shit turns into A+


[07-Oct-20 09:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
and for a nigga who actually knows what the fuck he's doing and isn't low-skill? S rank, with only moderate difficulty.


[07-Oct-20 10:00 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The thing is, I wanted to have the adamantine be used by certain niggas to literally walk through lava, and other things. So like, if it can survive dragon fire, why can it be worked and forged in the first place?


[07-Oct-20 10:03 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Makes me feel that the shit is good to start, but that there's some magical or.. hell, maybe even some realistic process unique to adamantine, that allows it to from then on protect from dragon fire and lava and shit.


[07-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>using the toughest spells on Adamantine


[07-Oct-20 10:07 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>create a god weapon


[07-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup, maybe. S'why shit's valuable.


[07-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Y'ever play Runescape?


[07-Oct-20 10:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
S'basically Rune, on f2p.


[07-Oct-20 10:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or maybe it doesn't make enchantments easier, but can take many enchantments without the enchantments limiting eachother.


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Yes


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
When you hack a Minecraft sword


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And have every enchantment activated at once


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Idunno which idea is more OP tbh. Enchantments that are better than what you can normally ever do,


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Even thought they should cancel each other out


[07-Oct-20 10:19 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
or a thing htat takes many more enchantments than usual


[07-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
||wjy not both?||


[07-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, that feels even more OP. Every weapon IRL has downsides to it, ultimately. Making something truly godlike ends up making it bad.


[07-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It's like... Superman vs Batman.


[07-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Which one is more thrilling?


[07-Oct-20 10:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The nigga who can never be harmed ever and can fly and has x-ray vision and super strength


[07-Oct-20 10:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or the rich nigga who's really smart


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I mean


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
If there’s both


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
The downside could be you would need someone really powerful to handle it all


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or else it could possibly kill you


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Drains you of mana


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, idunno if I like that either. What, a nigga needs to know magic to use a sword with a kill-counter enchantment?


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More like


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It slowly drains you


[07-Oct-20 10:22 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or quickly


[07-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>pussy nigga picks up sword
>immediately screams and shrivels up


[07-Oct-20 10:23 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh. Not a fan. I think we should probably leave magic vague generally.


[07-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Cut the magic side of Adamantine down to "It's very naturally attuned with magic, and it's impervious to Dragon fire (with certain caveats)"


[07-Oct-20 10:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
the author can decide what naturally attuned with magic means.

{Reactions}


[07-Oct-20 10:30 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How's the lore, uh, gathering going by the way.


[07-Oct-20 10:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Ah, good thinking


[07-Oct-20 10:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
And


[07-Oct-20 10:31 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
It’s going


[07-Oct-20 10:31 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
orly


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Also I'm still stuck on that thing like


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
how could it be immune to dragon fire, but still be forged by a blacksmith?


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The answer is the dragon fire is magical and this thing resists dragonfire, specifically, as part of it's magical nature.

{Reactions}


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I mean


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What if it is specifically dragon fire


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Just dragon fire


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That it is 100% immune to


[07-Oct-20 10:32 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Buuuuttttt I also want it to be able to be made into booties so some Muhamad-Sandnigger-tier-Dwarf-Cult-Leader can think he can walk through lava while wearing them


[07-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, that's what I mean. This ore, specifically, is immune to dragon's fire.


[07-Oct-20 10:33 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
ah, yes, rightr.


[07-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway. So, uh. How would that actually work for Lamia?


[07-Oct-20 10:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Since their lower , uh, snake body can't actually be covered really. Or at least not armored by plate.


[07-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It needs to be either bare or covered in something that will really stick to the ground *and* stick to the specific segments of the Lamia's body.


[07-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
If it's loose like a sock they'll just constantly sit there not moving.


[07-Oct-20 10:43 PM] Vape#6221
chainmail maybe?


[07-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Vape#6221
idk


[07-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Vape#6221
chainmail is preety flexible tbh


[07-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Not flexible enough, and it wouldn't stick to the Lamia's underbelly like it needs.


[07-Oct-20 10:44 PM] Vape#6221
hmmm


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
maybe they would just wear a bodyglove-y thing


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
like uh


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Like, something that isn't super super tight and sticks to their underbelly well is like.... Walking around on soap. There's no traction for them.


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They won't slide, but that's almost the problem, they couldn't really move.


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
fuck


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
uh


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Modern ones would, but how would traditional pre-konvergence ones do that?


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
i really don't know dude


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
maybe some armor plates scaled inbeetween eachother?


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Vape#6221
just like tracks


[07-Oct-20 10:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
A cool aesthetic but it still won't work.


[07-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Vape#6221
i mean


[07-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Vape#6221
atleast for their underbelly


[07-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Vape#6221
they could just put some hard leather on the backside of their tail-body-halves-idfk and keep the other one bare clean


[07-Oct-20 10:46 PM] Vape#6221
since not many things slide in nature


[07-Oct-20 10:47 PM] Vape#6221
you can't ***really*** armor a snake tbh


[07-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Na, you can.


[07-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Vape#6221
you can armor dogs, monkeys, humans, bears, etc etc p good because of the joint parts being able to be kept flexible while immobile ones don't move much


[07-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Vape#6221
even birds


[07-Oct-20 10:48 PM] Vape#6221
but you keep their wings without armor


[07-Oct-20 10:49 PM] Vape#6221
hm, leather gives a preety good traction though


[07-Oct-20 10:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, that's the thing. The way snakes work, I think it won't.


[07-Oct-20 10:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
For instance if you put a snake on a mirror, it can't move.


[07-Oct-20 10:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
At least, not in it's usual way. It can flop and move that way, but not move via it's normal slithering type motion


[07-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Vape#6221
maybe some kind of lizardskin?


[07-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Vape#6221
that way it has enough traction to do shiit


[07-Oct-20 10:51 PM] Vape#6221
since it's a bunch of scales literally ***digging***


[07-Oct-20 10:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well, the issue is still that it must be tight on the snake's body too. It can kind of be done but not really. Like.. You know how when you walk, your foot changes it's angle? Imagine walking like a robot with a fully-stiff foot. That's what moving in underbelly-armor would be like to a Lamia, even if it was well done pre-konvergence armor, I fear.


[07-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Vape#6221
they could just... not wear stuff on their underbellies?


[07-Oct-20 10:54 PM] Vape#6221
just like a cape, armoured and all, just protecting their back and front half but keeping the rest bare


[07-Oct-20 10:55 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yup. That was my idea as well.


[07-Oct-20 10:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Armor on the top of the snake parts, armor all over the human parts, armor at the very front of the snake part that acts as the snake's "legs"


[07-Oct-20 10:56 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
@Battlebrothermichael Y'got any armor ideas yourself, considering the above issues?


[08-Oct-20 12:06 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Oh shit I forgot about that.. Hey Harpy, Lamia marriage. We talked about how disapproving parents may refuse to sponsor a proper wedding between a match they dislike. How would that actually work? What do the parents/elders have to work with in that regard?


[08-Oct-20 01:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
For armor


[08-Oct-20 01:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe Kevlar


[08-Oct-20 01:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
With cleats on it


[08-Oct-20 01:48 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Like


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Gripping grooves that dig into dirt and stuff


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Or rubber for traction


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
That would work for lamia body armor


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Uhhh


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Disapproving Marriage wise


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe they don’t get a spot I. The lamia house


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
No funding


[08-Oct-20 01:49 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
No place to do the ceremony


[08-Oct-20 01:50 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Instead of having the marriage on the ancestral lands they have to have it in a communal place


[08-Oct-20 06:45 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ah, no, I meant traditional armor for them, pre konvergence, pre rubber, etc


[08-Oct-20 06:58 AM] Coastie#3790
I don't know if it's been said yet.
Desert snakes don't slither, they walk. Lamia might have to do that for some situations.


[08-Oct-20 01:04 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
Anyone got that pic of Miia wearing Jaffa armor from Stargate?


[08-Oct-20 01:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

Also @Fucking Kevin Goddamnit for pre Konvergence armor maybe chain mail with cleats on it, something that grips

Wargun has fallen...


[08-Oct-20 01:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, we talked about about that 'some. Snake underbellies are tricky. Like uhh...


[08-Oct-20 01:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Basically they can be armored all over *but* in doing so that will make htem have to move around like retards


[08-Oct-20 01:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
which might be fine for dragon slaying since protection is paramount


[08-Oct-20 01:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
but not for general use or wear I imagine.


[08-Oct-20 01:18 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Historically any time there was a piece of armor that was protective, BUT limited the user's fighting or moving abilities majorly, it was tossed aside.

Incidentally,


[08-Oct-20 01:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
that's, technically, the most cost efficient snake movement style.


[08-Oct-20 01:21 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The traditional one turns out to be less efficient than everyone used to think

Results of our voice conversation: 
Lamia anti-dragon niggas wear a long dragon-leather thing on their snake parts + adamantine chainmail which mostly nullifies the dragon fire, and adamantine plate armor for the human segment that completely nullifies the dragon fire. 

Wearing shit all the way around their snake parts makes it very hard for them to slither normally, so they're required to either move either very very slowly, or via a sidewinder movement which involves throwing hteir snake parts around, which is both uncomfortable for them, strenuous, and very loud.

I imagine with Lamia's gigantic food intake requirements, they dont really do deep-ocean voyage shit pre-konvergence. Without the land right next to them they're kinda fucked.


[10-Oct-20 03:50 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
When theyre just coastal-sailing its prolly aiight since they can get food off land *and* do some fishing, but deep ocean shit isn't at all consistent for fishing.


[10-Oct-20 04:45 PM] MandoSpam#7812

I could see the Lamia getting most of their news pre-konvergence via foreign traders. That's a given usually,but especially for Lamia. That, and the Lodge niggas. 

The King prolly has two niggas called the King's Listener and the King's Speaker. Niggas' make it an official thing to talk to a trusted captain or ither member of the crew they trust and learn what they can. Prolly pay'm in SnakeCoin for the service, and is a customary thing the bigger merchant groups view as just another weird part of doing business with the Lamia.


[11-Oct-20 01:20 PM] Wargunlock#0868
The Lamias, and most of the other races, will probably do their very best to seek out knowledge of these new humans at whatever cost. In my story the elves captured scribe because he could provide them information of these newcomers. Would the Lamias reach out to the insular hunter lodges that might have knowledge of what the new humans are like? Because of their nature, they wouldn't be inclined to ever divulge it if there wasn't any reason to do so, now however? With the Lamias asking for it and practically giving out a credibility boost? Yeah of course they are going to tell them what they want within reason.


[11-Oct-20 01:21 PM] Wargunlock#0868
We need more lodge niggas.


[11-Oct-20 02:18 PM] [NoNameGiven]#3446
not to rip off more from the monster girl stuff (I swear, I've never watched any of the shit so I might not be ripping them off idk), but what if they took advantage of those with more niche interests in the tidal wave of kommandos by having female lamias lure and kidnap some for some more rudimentary knowledge ?


[11-Oct-20 02:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, Lamia are huge on personal freedoms, absolutely huge on it. Holding others against their will is something they ain't cool with doing. Lureing in generally though, sure.


[11-Oct-20 02:21 PM] [NoNameGiven]#3446
they don't have to torture someone
and the "kidnapping" could be something other than knocking them out / bag over the head, maybe more convincing a kommando to go with them
||so yeah more luring and less kidnapping||


[11-Oct-20 02:41 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Rural Lamias aren't very good at prostrating themselves. At least not the ones in charge. They're used to merchants having to convince *them* to do business, or government officials in some cases asking for shit or cooperation.


[11-Oct-20 02:42 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I could see the merchant class or the King's officials doing so sufficiently.


[11-Oct-20 02:43 PM] Cactus Steve#8273

[11-Oct-20 02:44 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
the merchants, I can see


[11-Oct-20 02:45 PM] [NoNameGiven]#3446
but them not wanting to do such things is a point


[11-Oct-20 02:45 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They might find human merchants frustrating since they would value food to a lesser extent. Every productive hour of work a Lamia does has to net them a certain amount of food. Humans need something like 1/8th of that quantity. So deals involving food wouldn't be nearly as appealing as they would to Lamia merchants.


[11-Oct-20 02:45 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
it's not kidnapping if you get them to willingly come though
it's just good advertising


[11-Oct-20 02:45 PM] [NoNameGiven]#3446
maybe the king's officials find volunteers and train them for that?


[11-Oct-20 02:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Na na. Lamia belly dances are based and maybe Rural Lamia estates looking for info from the horse's mouth might do it.


[11-Oct-20 02:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
The problem is they're very suspicious of outsiders and non-family.


[11-Oct-20 02:47 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So.. One way it might work is if they feel like they're locking the humans into being truthful via, say, ||Marriage.||


[11-Oct-20 02:49 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
yes, or by fair payment in currency


[11-Oct-20 02:49 PM] Cactus Steve#8273
no one's jewing anyone


[11-Oct-20 02:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Or contracts, maybe... Mutually beneficial deals. If a Lamia has no prior reason to trust a nigga, he'll have to default to the very distant second of trusting his self interest..


[11-Oct-20 02:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Eh, no


[11-Oct-20 02:49 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Once he has gold he can be gone in 5 minutes.

Fucking niggercord ate my message holy shit


[11-Oct-20 02:53 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Anyway, Lamia are very suspicious and would doubt much of what they're told by an unknown out of principle. Without a trusted third party, or some concrete reason to actively trust the source, they'd have major doubts.


[11-Oct-20 02:54 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
So simply paying the person doesn't do much.


[11-Oct-20 02:59 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
One option I suppose would be like.. They'll pay him for info, but only after X years, and not pay him shit if it turns out he lied. Most people wouldn't wanna take that deal though.


[11-Oct-20 03:02 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Evsn in that, the Lamia would be suspicious until either the info was confirmed somehow, or backed up by someone they trust.


[11-Oct-20 03:03 PM] GranadaWasNotEnough#5424
perhaps they size of a transaction is proportional to how long you've been doing business

Lamia keep dealings early on in mercantile relationships kinda small. A vetting period where if the merchant somehiw fucked them, it would only be a small setback.


[11-Oct-20 03:05 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Last week or so we talked about how Lamia merchants doing new trade routes don't expect to even break even on their first two pass-throughs of an area


[11-Oct-20 03:07 PM] mothman#1742
i could see lamia society working almost like a big extended family, if you arent a part of that, you're gonna have a hard time dealing with them


[11-Oct-20 03:07 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Lamia are like boomers in that their trust is very long lasting and deep, and originally hard earned. So they'll buy rhe same thing for more from a trusted merchant rather than one they don't know.


[11-Oct-20 03:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, more or less. Lots of vouching for people. Last week we talked about how the Lamia Royal court sends it's officials out to all the Lamia estates at least a few times in said officials' lives, just to make sure the people know the official's face and the line of trust never breaks by an untimely death


[11-Oct-20 03:09 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
They trust a known face much much more than a badge.


[11-Oct-20 03:16 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Important Lamia meetings between strangers always have gift giving from the parties interested in fostering the relationship. Often times that's a one sided thing, sometimes it's from both sides. Like if two new estates were being built not far from eachother. Both parties have an active need to foster good will in their neighbors, both sides know for a fact that the other is really a proper estate and this isnt somehow a big scam, etc.


[11-Oct-20 03:17 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
You can't buy Lamia friendship, but goods, money, or favors are often necessary for it to go smoothly. Especially if the other party contrives any reason to doubt you.

[12-Oct-20 02:46 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[12-Oct-20 03:15 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Hmmm... Maybe White Snake joined with a bunch of humans going into the jungles, for a lil' fun. His Lamia's kingdom was especially peaceful at the moment and he felt like having a bit of fun before going back to sleep. Oooorrrrr maybe he lost a bar bet after doing a few bar bets with human visitors, and had to go with them. Maybe they fought a dragon ultimately, won, WhiteSnake was pleased by this random turn of events, so he healed them, maybe made the femmoids orbs a lil bigger, and used magic to clear a large patch of jungle for them, where the pest jungle plants would never grow again. It wasn't exactly, officially, his to give, but he did anyway. He took the Dragon's heart but left them the corpse, went back to Vietlamia and gave the heart to the King as a parting gift, and took another 200 year nap.

[12-Oct-20 03:20 PM] Wargunlock#0868
I'd like to think that it was ancient, from a long dead civilization that the white snake merely informed the Humans of its existence and that if they wanted to hunt dragons that would serve as quite the base for them to take root in.


[12-Oct-20 03:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[12-Oct-20 03:20 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Very sand-y


[12-Oct-20 03:24 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Yeah, I was just thinkin'of that. WhiteSnake is probably intentionally aloof toward a lot of things. Wanting to do things during his waking hours but not wanting to grow too attached to anyone, since any way you cut it, it'd be bad long term. So WS might sometimes tell the truth, or may sometimes not. Or like, a lie of omission, often. Doesn't want them to fall victim of XYZ curse of some temple so he says he doesnt know about it. Or if hes talking to someone whomst knows hes a god, he just says the temple is from before he came to this region or some ither vague ass cryptic shit that they cant call him on, but can't make use of either.


[12-Oct-20 03:25 PM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
I imagine in his snake form, his mouth doesn't move in a way human speech requires. Sk talking ti him would be like talking to the dragon in dragonball z

Just had a thought as I laid down for bed. Lamia move very consistently, and quite flatly, so they should be able to shoot while moving much easier than humans and most humanoids can.


[13-Oct-20 12:35 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
:itstime:


[13-Oct-20 12:35 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Lamia could really be mobile gun bunkers


[13-Oct-20 12:35 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
What do you think their stamina for upper body armor would be?


[13-Oct-20 12:36 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
>Lamia with a .50 cal that is a living armored train


[13-Oct-20 12:38 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
>upper body armor
Hmmm... Twice as strong, means half the load. Maybe more than half when you factor in the fact that while they're strong, thry can't move properly for combat if they use their carrying capacity to the fullest.


[13-Oct-20 12:38 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Still, much higher than a human's capacity, I'd think.


[13-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
30 percent bigger, 30 percent more armor. Twice as strong, twice the carry weight(within a certain range). With no legs to worry about, the torso armor for the lower body could just be a tube. Fairly strong structure.


[13-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Hmmmm


[13-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
So in theory


[13-Oct-20 12:44 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
A regular EOD suit wouldn’t slow them down as much?


[13-Oct-20 12:45 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
It'd fuck up aiming I'd imagine. They'd prolly hate it for any length of time because it puts a lotta weight on the snake-part that comprises their leg segment.


[13-Oct-20 12:46 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But it would only hamper their movements slightly.


[13-Oct-20 12:47 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Well, their travel movements, their arm movements might be half fucked from it.

[13-Oct-20 12:56 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
How would Lamoa fight pre konvergence? I've been stuck on the matter for a few days now. They're so long that if an enemy gets to the rear of the tail without beinf noticed, it could take kind of a while before the Lamia could get back to ots tail to defend it.


[13-Oct-20 12:56 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Then again, the tail is thick and muscly and is sort of a weapon in if itself


[13-Oct-20 12:56 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
In of*


[13-Oct-20 12:57 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454

[13-Oct-20 12:57 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Tail slap if from behind


[13-Oct-20 12:57 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
But I’d like to think they would prefer ambush tactics


[13-Oct-20 12:58 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Not as much upfront fighting


[13-Oct-20 12:58 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
But uh, with humans, theyre just a circle seen from a vertical position. They can defend most parts of themselves at any time. Lamia are, well, either logs or coils.


[13-Oct-20 12:58 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Ambush for sure, or defense stuff. Tunnel defense and the like.


[13-Oct-20 01:00 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Makes me wonder how much armor theyd really go with. And what formations for that matter. If flanking attacks would be a good counter to them or not


[13-Oct-20 01:00 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Maybe less armor


[13-Oct-20 01:00 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
More shields?


[13-Oct-20 01:03 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
Mmm, maybe. They've got a much better industry than their historic enemies, so it stands to reason theyd have a big advantage in quality armor. 

It's no meme that fully armored knights could wreck peasants easily, they were fuckin' tanks.


[13-Oct-20 01:04 AM] Fucking Kevin Goddamnit#4454
This isn't particularly important, but I'm very inclined with things like thisn in general to get this stuff right.


[13-Oct-20 01:05 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
Perhaps


[13-Oct-20 01:06 AM] Battlebrothermichael#5958
I was just more thinking about EOD suit lamias than their original armor
