Eidolon EDM #9: Into the Blue

THREAT ANALYSIS - TRACE VECTOR Threat level: Somewhere under C - Genetically and cybernetically altered cetacean - Appears to originate from an EIDOLON Corporation project.

Eidolon VGM #9: Snake Eater, Part 1

3rd of December, 2209 The fog has parted; the sun shines again! I've been thinking about Number Four entirely wrong. I've been assuming that the purpose of a S.H.A.D.E. “should” or “must” be related to the flow and development of objective, concrete data. But that’s wrong! I’ve thoroughly explored that ground with Blank and its sisters. If I want to push the Desire Drive to its full potential, I should be trying to create something truly new. So: instead of dealing with “facts” or “knowledge”, w...

Eidolon EDM #8: Reverse Ideology

THREAT ANALYSIS - LEILA MARINO Threat level: B- to A+ (depending on support from "BLOODY TEARS") - Origin indeterminate. Survey of identification records recommended. - Behavior, desires, and eidolon suggest a connection to the mining facility attack @ beginning of UNDRTOW beta. - Organization appears to be separate from Glitch Mob, but with some overlap. Provisional name: "BLOODY TEARS." Researching BT should be a high priority for the security team. - Eidolon power: Indeterminate, but appears ...

Eidolon VGM #8: Heal

Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174]. Pt 1 of 4 Assigned observer: 455-3239-D. Subject Alpha: What the fuck?! Subject Beta: Sorry, sorry, sorry… A: Why would you – B: You called me pretty! A: Yes! And you are! B: Then what’s the problem? Alpha takes a deep breath, holds up a hand, and points to several embedded cameras in succession. A: Those are just the ones I can see. I don't want those fucking perverts watching us. Subject Beta looks at Camera 6 and waves. B: They’re going to watch ...

Eidolon EDM #7: Carcer Mentis

Oh, look at you. You tired, old thing. It's been years, hasn't it? You've been sitting alone and neglected, taking up what little space you do on this data drive. Well, that won't do at all, dear. Please, allow me. Oh. Oh, darling no. Shhh. I know it hurts. It won't be long now. I simply can't let such a reminder of her more...human times linger when there are so many prying eyes. That's it. Not much left of you. Don't worry. There won't be any pain after. Any neglect. You'll simply be part of m...

Eidolon VGM #7: Labyrinth Summons

Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174] Assigned observer: 455-3239-D. Subject Beta grabs Subject Alpha and positions her in front of full-length mirror / Camera 3. B: Look at yourself in the mirror and say that. Call yourself Dante. Tell me, like you told me when we started, that your name is Dante and you are a guy. Oh, nothing against trans women; you've dated… how many was it? Subject Alpha trembles slightly, but does not respond. B: You're going to be a MAID, just like me. Otherwise, ...

Eidolon EDM #6: WHAT I WANT, Part 3

"Well, what an exciting day this was. I know mother and father protested but, frankly, that only made this sweeter. Assistant Operations Manager of Synthetic Animal Goods Production. Bit of a mouthful, but we can work on that. My first day at Eidolon is hardly the time to raise a fuss. Horace Babylon was certainly...a presence. The HR narrative that he likes to personally greet all new hires rang less true than him simply wishing to scare the hell out of anyone who won't make it within the compa...

Eidolon VGM #6: Brianvision

Posted on 12/8/2172 by TransRightsNotBombs Addressing the allegations I have read the documents and those screenshot are out of context. Firstly my relationships with Alice and Athena were fully consensual and both of them knew my deal. Secondly I was always honest and direct with what I wanted from them, they could have said anything but now it turns out I had to magically guess their wants? This does not make me a predator and blacklisting me over it is bullshit! ALSO I AM NOT A CHASER, they a...

I don't want anyone to be intimidated by my reputation or simply agreeing with me because of my connections. But now that you know who I am...

patreon.com/eidolonplaytest xXx[FinDom]xXx wrote (3:26a LST): lmao "stereotypical"? is this the very first fictional story you've ever seen? has your previous experience with entertainment been banging two rocks together? guys like john deere are the fucking background radiation of the whole genre. they're always gonna be there, so you just have to write around them. kia soul isn't the lead of the show because, unfortunately, showbiz isn't a meritocracy. if it was and we lived in a just and righ...

Eidolon VGM #4: Carry the Sun

Private message from Heartbreaker2196 to xXx[FinDom]xXx (3:01a LST): The only thing you've done by debating me in ~full view~ of the rest of the tread is proven time and time again that if a """pretty""" girl bats her eyelashes at another girl once or twice you won't stop talking about it for MONTHS. I can and will continue to post anything and everything I feel like posting, and I think I'm well within my rights to critisize! Why don't I lay it out for you this way: Your little crush is simplis...

Eidolon EDM #3: Eternal September, Part 1

patreon.com/eidolonplaytest Private message from xXx[FinDom]xXx to Heartbreaker2196 (2:40a LST): both to preserve the ideals of free speech on this forum and in the vain hope that you and the rest of your clique might one day develop a modicum of media literacy, i have consistently chosen to debate you in full view of the rest of thread's participants. however, that shit you said about Kia Soul in your last post went way too far. if you want to be wrong about Starelia then fine, go for it. if lo...

patreon.com/eidolonplaytest Heartbreaker2196 wrote (2:28a LST): Every single day you keep logging on to these forums making these stupid posts. Tool-moded? What the hell do you think you're posting from, moron? Just because you're a dolphin scalie(? What the hell do they even call this I don't think dophins have scales??) doesn't mean you're suddenly excluded from the group! But either way? I'm glad you recognize me as the royalty I so obviously am! Anyway, for the rest of you civilized users: I...

Eidolon EDM #2: Hyperparasite Hype Train

patreon.com/eidolonplaytest xXx[FinDom]xXx wrote (02:19a LST): oh wow what a surprise that this board's queen of comphet would think starcadia's argument held any fucking water. "but the solar empire has been safeguarding that star system for centuries!" says the dumbass who apparently doesn't know what refugees are. this shit is why no one likes humanity. you can't even fucking stand being around each other! bunch of apes have their dna take a wrong turn and become tool-moded land-cucks who mak...

Eidolon VGM #2: What They're Looking For

patreon.com/eidolonplaytest Heartbreaker2196 wrote (01:37a LST): I love Starcadia so much. Now there's a girl who knows what it takes to get out there and GET THINGS DONE. I knew she'd be able to swoop in and prove that Rembrandt's claim to the throne is real. What does it matter if some stupid old elves happened to be in this part of space thousands of years ago anyway. What matters is who is here NOW, not who USED to be here. And huh. No sign of Aurelia anywhere this week, Finny? It must be so...

Eidolon EDM #1: Tension Rising

xXx[FinDom]xXx wrote (5:34a LST): once again i find myself enjoying an episode for entirely different reasons than most, because i am burdened to be one of the few who knows what subtext is. yeah, sure, your boy got his kiss. but here's the thing: for a genre that's usually notorious for dragging out the will-they-won't-they until the heat death of the universe, Courtship sure is pushing rembrandt really hard, huh? almost like it wants you to think that's what's "supposed" to happen, which is th...

Eidolon VGM #1: I Could Be Anything

Heartbreaker2196 wrote (03:52a LST): GREAT episode of The Courtship this week for TRUE BELIEVERS in REAL ROMANCE. It's so obvious that Starcadia and Rembrandt are made for each other! I don't know why anyone even brings up Aurelia anymore. So WHAT if they shared another “meaningful glance” at each other! I don't care that it happened right as Remby went in to kiss her! As you can see on the scoreboard, Aurelia has been kissed zero times. Let's keep track of that as the season goes on. Anyway, wh...

Eidolon SKA #50: The World Is New

I was sitting and waiting Just thinking, contemplating My life when I heard the phone I picked up the receiver And I did not believe her When I heard a voice say you're not alone When I am down and I am blue All I have to do Is close my eyes and think of you And the world is new Oh, life was getting hectic And things were unexpected When I first received your call But now it is the best thing That filled up what was missing And now my life is envied by all When I am down and I am blue All I have...
