You are SAMANTHA SMITH, a pudgy teenage girl that spent a little bit too much time having snacks and playing videogames. You went to fat camp in order to re-invent yourself and your image, planning to be fit, or at least lose a good amount of weight, by the end of summer. Of course all of this is in your past. You see there was this whole accident where you fell from a cliff and cracked your head open, ending your life prematurely. Kinda sucked. But it’s not all bad, after all, it turned out you were given a second chance at life, this time in some kind of odd, fantasy world, where you are a Harpy.


This morning, you and your sister have gotten into quite a bit of trouble, during your first attempts at flight, your sister found out she didn’t really know how to land and she wound up on the forest floor. You followed her out of the nest in an attempt to help, and after some words of encouragement you managed to get her back on the wing and back into the nest. However, not soon enough for your parents to not notice that you were missing. With your return, it seems that your mother has become a bit cross with the two of you. Which is odd. Your mother has always been a worry wort in the few days you’ve come to know her, but she’s never been cross with you, always kind and loving, you even saw her tear up the first time she thought she had lost you and your twin.


So now you sit in the main room of the nest, sitting on straw and twig, your twin sister at your side. You think back into your past life, you’ve been yelled at before, plenty of times, scolded for things both little and big, you try to recall the last fight you had before you left for fat camp, something trivial you recall, not putting away some dirty laundry before you were set to leave. Your feathers droop to your side and you frown, for that to have been the last argument you had in your old life.

>>45501775
The wind rustles through your golden locks, causing your attentions to be brought back to the current predicament, in the other room your father talks with your mother, they had Ciel watch over no-longer-Eggy while the two of them chat, and you can actually tell they are chatting and not using it as an excuse to get busy by the fact you can hear mom ranting about something and your father giving measured and sincere replies. Its about you and your sister isn’t it? Oh, the two of you are in such big trouble. You glance over to your twin, who is likewise looking back at you, she looks afraid, but you’ve dealt with this sort of stuff before, you can deal with some minor scolding, right?

Dice System is 1d100, Best of 3 rolls, Roll over the DC.
There are sometimes multiple DCs to a single roll ranging from Critical Fail-Major Fail-Failure-Success-Major Success-Critical Success.

There will be roughly 10-15 minutes for voting and updates will take place on average of 20-40 minutes after I call the vote.

After all sessions I will stick around for Q&A. Feel free to ask me silly questions, tell jokes, and hang out with your QM.

Sorry for the mini-hiatus, college, family, and life in general just keep popping up.

> Special Abilities:

Second one is "Blessing of the Harpy Goddess" or something along those lines.
>>
>>45502513
It could be a weird phrasing on something unrelated deliberately to throw people off into thinking it's a divine blessing.
>>
>>45502559

It's a special ability, which is where REQM listed Lyra's blessings before he moved them to their own section. The most common pairing 2-3 letter word pairing is "of the". Paired with the previous eight-letter word, it's most likely "Blessing of the", and the seven-letter word at the end matches "goddess" or "demigod". The five letter word in the middle is the biggest unknown; I just used Harpy as a placeholder.

But, yeah, it COULD be something different.
>>
>>45502794
It's pretty likely based on logic, but if Sigil is anything like me, he'd take advantage of that logic to make something that looks like a Blessing but is in actuality something completely different, either by making a weird name for the power or just making the question marks not matter, so that it's an actual surprise instead of something that's guessed within thirty minutes.

Sigil isn't REQM.
>>
>>45502416
> sis

>And Ciel.

>>
>>45503002
Now I want breakfast
>>
>>45502908

I'm aware he's not REQM, but their charsheet formatting is incredibly similar.

It could certainly just be weirdly named, but why would he bother going through the effort of making a weird and probably clunky name? If the question marks don't matter, then why bother making it look like they do?

I don't think Sigil's so obsessed with ensuring that our abilities remain secret (nor enough of a pedantic asshole) to do so.
>>
>>45503037
>If the question marks don't matter, then why bother making it look like they do?
Because getting something you didn't expect can be fun.
>>
>>45503100
Yes, but when it comes at the expense of something you DID expect, it's usually called a shitty christmas gift
>>
>>45503134
Depends on whether the thing you expect is the thing you want or not.
>>
>>45503100

Then why didn't he just put single question marks?

That way we'd have no chance of guessing it.
>>
>>45501781
You go to stand up, your twin sister needs reassurance that everything is going to be alright, you stumble a little on the twigs beneath your feet, and need to beat your wings twice in order to catch your footing. Then you walk your ways over to your twin, talons lowering and dropping on the nest floor before you plop down beside her, stretching your wing around her shoulder in a half hug.


“Hey, Hey, everything is gonna be all right.”

“No, its not sis, Mom is mad, she’s never mad and,”
“Sister, Mom isn’t mad, she was just worried is all, look, if she was mad would she have given us names? She is proud, but she is just worried is all. You saw what it was like when we went with Dad yesterday.”

Your sister’s eyes open up a bit in recognition, she nods along with your words apparently remembering the how much you needed to plead with your mother to tag along on your father’s errand. You pull her a bit closer, closing your wing around her.

“Sister, just let me do the explaining I promise, everything will be fine.”
“Ok, Sis.”

Your sister still seems a bit wary about the events to come, but it seems that you have given her some peace of mind, which is good, because your mother has just come back in the room and…

She actually doesn’t have on the same expression as before, this one seeming more tired than upset or frustrated, whatever Dad must have discussed with her. She walks up over to the two of you, towering over you like when you were freshly hatch. She glances between the two of you nestled together. And that’s when you open your mouth.

1/2
>>
>>45503169
Because that way you'd guess the likely and obvious thing once and be satisfied with that instead of theorizing and potentially calling it.
>>
>>45503169
Then we wouldn't TRY to guess, and guessing is fun!
>>
>>45503182
“Blame everything on me.”

You say aloud as your mother spreads her wings and pulls you close to her chest, the familiar warm and soft feeling of a feathered comforter encircling you as it has many times before.

“My darling twins… I was so worried. So… so worried…” She says with a shuddering sigh. It seems that your plunge and subsequent flight took a lot out of your mother. You feel a light kiss atop your head, and hear a similar peck from beside you in short order. Your mother gives a tug, pressing you in closer before releasing the two of you.

“But now we need to talk.”

Your mother suddenly seems very serious, looking between the two of you with a firm expression, and the words that come out of her mouth next shake you a bit.

“What do the both of you remember?”

But, as >>45503541 so keenly pointed out, the numbers don't add up. I have to many votes to not enough IPs. So, as punishment to the lot of you for being dishonest, we are doing Final Destination. I have a phone timer set.

IPs 24, 25, 26 and 27 were votes for 1, 1, 2 and 2, respectively. IPs 28 and 29 didn't come until after the FD had ended.

I'm saying that the new IPs had no impact on the overall vote even if they were attempts at samefagging and not just drawing out the lurkers, which honestly seems more likely than IPfagging stopping at two faked votes each.

Shit, did she just say what you think she just said? Ok, calm down, Sammy there is no possible way that your mother knows that you aren’t actually a baby Harpy and are a reborn human, so just tell her all the facts from up until this point, its really easy, all you need to do is tell her from the time you were in the egg, what it felt like, the warmth, the cramped confines, what it was like to hatch, and all the little baby adventures that you’ve had up until this very moment in time.

You go to open your mouth,

“I remember…”

You stop before you even begin, your mother’s eyes upon you as she waits for your response with baited breath. But, wait, what if this is a common thing? Or what if it is important to tell her, you don’t want to bottle this up forever, it’ll drive you insane if you are the only person in the universe who knows you have all these memories of your time alive as a human on Earth. You need to tell somebody, and who else but your mother. Besides, what if the reason she is asking is cause she too is a reborn? Maybe everyone is!? Perhaps this is some strange afterlife and everyone is like this. Are you just holding it in.

“I remember…”

But wait, what if you are wrong? What if your mom and family think you are all crazy? What if you wind up in some kind of bird cage harpy asylum, with them thinking that you belong there because of your mad ramblings about another world? You can’t put yourself out there like that, but this may be the best chance. You have to take it!

“I remember liv-“

>>45504409
“I remember how to fly, and how to hunt, and all the words on the signs in town, and where to poke a goblin to make it drop in one blow, and what plants are poison, and what tastes really good on prey!”

Your twin chirps up happily. You look over to her with a shocked and surprised expression on your face. Wait, goblin? We havn’t faced any goblins. And the only sign you could sorta read in town was Barley’s tavern sign, and even then you have no idea how. You look up to your mother who nods sagely and happily with the result.

“Good my chickadee. And you were saying my little canary?” She turns to you once more for your answer.

Lyra had a conversation with a goddess about reincarnation stuffs.
>>
I wonder what older-lil-sis was in her past life. Maybe she had been a harpy then too?

>>45504882
Lyra thinks about it on occasion, and it's come up at least once, but she hasn't talked about it with her family and friends. On the flip side, the MC from Snake was frequently thinking about her past life. Kobold changed things up a few times early on, I don't remember how that worked out.
>>
>>45504427
Wait, wait, hold it, how did your sister know all this stuff. You didn’t know all that stuff. Is she some kind of reincarnation too? That’s gotta be it right? Unless its not? But how else could she remember?

“Hey! How do you know all that stuff Sister?” You blurt out, consumed by your sudden urge to know.

Your sister shrugs her wings, the feathers looking like oversized hands as she gives an honest to good answer that she has no idea how she knows, what she knows. You know?


Your mother however finds the exchange to be hilarious as she chuckles and tweets happily trying as best she can to stifle it behind a wing, you, wait she still can tweet? Ugh… this is making you confused, and it’s not even noon yet.
“Oh, dearie, she just has a decently strong Genetic Memory, capable of remembering all sorts of skills from the lives of those before you. It’s a trait inherent in most of the non-human races, even animals have a weak genetic memory.”

Your mother explains still trying to kill her own laughter at your outburst.
“Now, Twehehehe~, what were you saying you remembered my little one?”

Its now or never Sammy, maybe this is some kind of weird reaction with your genetic memory thing-a-maboble that your mother just mentioned, but you KNOW that you lived a past life as Samantha Smith, you open your mouth to begin.

“I lived a past life as a human!” You cry aloud for all to hear, getting it all off your tiny birdy chest. At these words, your mother suddenly stops laughing.

She tilts her head and looks at you with concern, in the still silence of the nest you can hear hurried shuffleing from the other rooms, the crunching of twigs and leaves as heavy footsteps hurry closer.

>>45505388
“My name is, was Samantha Smith, and I was a human girl, and I was heavy, and I lived in a city with my older brother, and my parents. We lived in an inn.” You stop your story, no, that’s not right, you lived in an apartment, “An inn… communal housing… a place where other families lived, but we lived there too…” You can’t say the word, why can’t you say the word? You shake your head, no, you need to keep saying your story.

“I went to school, and had friends, and there were mean bitch girls, and I went on a big electric carriage…” There it is again, no, you want to say bus. Not electric carriage, what’s going on? You look up at your mother who seems rapt with interest, slightly shocked in fact, your sister looks on as well excitedly, but you are so frustrated, the words aren’t coming out right!

You hear someone clear their throat from the doorway, “Ach, I see, so thas how it is, hrmmmm..?” Steven says from the entryway. You look up to your father, and it has become plain to see on your face that you hate how you can’t seem to tell them anything.

>Not saying Fat human

>>45505407
“T-T-there were moving portraits that danced behind glass… and games that fit in your hand likewise…” you say, trying to describe television or videogames, anything from your past life…

“Ach, issok sweethart, Dad’s here…” Your father says holding you. “Seems ‘er genetic memory tooka bit from tha ‘uman side of things. Got thoughts fromma Capt’l girl bouncing in ‘er ‘ed.” Your father states matter of factly as her gently strokes your feathers, No! He’s got it all wrong, you lived on Earth, not some strange fantasy… oh wow, that feels really good, right under the feathers… instinctively you begin to relax.

“But Steven, darling, no Harpy has ever had Genetic Memory pass from a human, I don’t think any non-human has. This should be impossible, and for one to have such detail of,” Your mother seems to be both shocked, frightened, and excited all at the same time, while your twin seems to be excited by association.

“An tha’s what ya said bout Jr. but ‘es off in tha otha room.” Your father says with a stern huff, his fingers still gently stroking the feathers at the joints of your wings.

“No, you don’t understand.” You chirp out from your father’s arms, they don’t get it, you need to explain it better, but there are no words for what you want to say. “There was communication that was super fast and through the air, like light, and there were these boxes that shook and made noise to tell you, you had them, and if you and another person had one you could talk to eachother.”

“Ach, come on swee’ daughta’ mine.” Your father says with a sigh and a shake of his head. “Ya kan tell us all bout tha picture glass an tha rumble boxes later.” He shushes you, you’re not a child! Well, you are in body but you are sixteen in mind! And even if its been fun to relax and enjoy everything like this but you can’t take the lies! Someone needs to know the truth!

“No, its real, I swear and big, metal birds people climb in, and heat boxes that warmed food and cold boxes that kept meats and veggies from going bad all year round and, “ Your father is laughing.

“Bahahahah, Sweet’e, ya use salt tah keep meats from goin bad, erey’one knows tha’ even the few people with chill box’s know ya kanne use ‘em all year round. No Ice stones, an no mage worth his hat’d waste coin keepin food from goin bad. Bahahahah!” He seems to find the idea of a refrigerator hilarious.

You give up, there is no way you are getting through to your family, at least not today… you sigh and relax in your father’s arms, finally relenting, but you look over to the side and notice something, peeking around the corner is your older sister Ciel, who has been quiet and watching you the entire time. Great… just great. Now everyone in the family can think you are crazy or some kind of wierdo. You huff and settle in for the ride.

Your father brings you to the rest area, “Arright, now getta bit of res’ ya all worked up fer nuthin.” Your father says as he goes to take some of the downy fluff and feathers that surrounds you on the floor and pile them up into a makeshift bed and pillow, “Ya kann tell us all bout tha Magic boxes later mm’kay?” he leans down to give you a kiss on the forehead. You aren’t even tired… its like 10 A.M. You huff and nestle down into the down.

Try to find something to draw with/on. If we can get an inkwell to dip our claws in, we might be able to draw what we were talking about.

Hell, if we could write out English, the alphabet and a few words and phrases, and be able to consistently apply them to our drawings, that might convince them we aren't just making shit up or having spare memories from our past lives.

With a huff you dip under the feathers and fluff, only your forehead and the tips of your wings sticking out of the floofy, soft pile of warmth and comfort, your father stands above you, having already given you your naptime forehead kiss.

“Get sum’ rest sweet’art.” He says, in a tone that sounds almost a little strained, like he is worried about something, probably you, you probably came off as crazy to all of them. You head his boots crunch on the nest floor as he goes to walk out of the nursery/ children’s room. As you hear his steps fade out you slowly peer out of the floofy pile, like some kind of bird-shark, the music from jaws ticks on in your mind for a sec, causing you to laugh in spite of all the crazy shit going on. You climb back up to your feet, some of the pile clinging to your feathers, you shake and beat your wings to get the soft debris out and back onto the floor but there seems to be that one white fur tuft that just doesn’t want to come out. Never mind, it’s not important. What is important is that the family is going to think you’ve been put to sleep, which gives you the perfect opportunity to head out exploring, just like you do every day, and just like you plan to do every day, no matter what they say.

But the question is, where?

You think you hear your mother’s voice in another portion of the nest, you’ve done this once before, a quick little stealth mission out of one portion of the nest to another. You begin to creep out of the nursery, and through the nest proper, following the sound of your mother’s voice. The twigs beneath your talons always seem to come close to snapping but there never seems to be enough pressure for them to, you are indeed one stealthy little harpy, like a ninja in the night, but it is actually late morning and you are pretty sure Japan does not exist in this world, maybe there is some kind of strange equivalent with upright walking panda people, but that would be pretty stupid.

You come, once more, to your parent’s room, they should really learn by now that this is one of the easiest rooms to eves drop on in the house.

“Im not cut out for this Steven, I should have known better with them being our kids.”
“Ach, honey the’ll by fine, ya coddlein ‘em too much, when I fanney ya getting attacked by them nastie gobbos ya we’ren much older than Ciel, ya ‘ad already flew tha coop.”
“But that was because of my family Steven, you know that. And besides, that was a long time ago. Times change.”
“Ach, It were but yesteryear, sixteen of em ta be precise, ya kannae treat ya kids any differen than you ya self were. I say we let ‘em live a bit, show them the life. Ifin they take to it then let ‘em. We kannae coddle them forever, you if anyone should know.”
“Nnnngh… I know. But…”
“Don’ make me say the line Darlin.”
You hear a heavy huff, and a small whine from your mother.
“F-Fine, But if anyone gets to take them it will be me. You already went with them to town. Its only fair I take them on their first hunt.”
“Thas tha spirit honey.”
You hear a slap and your mother yelp.
“Steven!” there is another huff and your father bursts out into laughter.

Then there is a little pause, you listen closely but neither of your parents seems to be talking.

“Ya know what’ll help don’cha? Givin ‘er some real memories…”

“Ya know what’ll help don’cha? Givin ‘er some real memories…”

Best mom, best dad.

Hope you will come back BurningSigil. I enjoyed the threads.

The more tired I get, the thicker his accent. I was really tired tonight.

>>45507780
I have no idea what you read into there.

>>45507787
Thanks for playing and the words of encouragement.

>>45507816
Pineapple what?

>my sweet littlest girl.
But we're the older twin, not the littlest one.
>>
>>45507803
We have to be Mii.
>>
>>45507836
Nah I'm pretty sure he said she was littlest. So we've gotta me Mai.

Well, it depends on if Ariel actually believes in the twin wrestling match for dominance, seeing as technically your twin hatched first.

>>45507854
Don't kill me off Anon.

>>45507856
>>45507873
Thanks for playing

>>45507919
I still say we're the one on the right and the left is our sister.
>>
>>45507935
we're the one who gets up in the morning, so yeah.
>>
>>45507832
Thanks for running!
Curse you for teasing that continued cliffhanger, though!
... but not really, it's all good fun.
>>
>>45507919

She damn well better!
>>
>>45507975
Let's just hope there is no rematch. We have sharper talons now, and our sister seems to have intimate knowledge of how to slay some creatures with a single hit. The playing field might not be as even now as it was then.

I like cliff hangers, they force people to come back for the next thread.

>>45507975
But she doesn't have a twin.

>>45508063
Just goblins.

>>45508068
I would a Papi.

>>45508063
YOU DARE DOUBT OUR WRESTLING PROWESS?!

Yes well hopefully you don't do TO many cliffhangers.
>>
>>45508078
We were a fat unathletic teenager. Now we're a light harpy. So yes, I doubt our wrestling prowess.
