Hello.
Are you familiar with the Orb of Infinite Psyche?

Sup Finesse.

>>26243
Oh shit. Umm, hello. We didn't know breaking a piece off worked like that.

We are the Orb of Infinite Psyche, a storm of disembodied voices and minds here to solve all your problems. Or, well, I guess we're the Shard of Finite Psyche now.

>>26243

Excellent, glad the orb works this way. Greetings Finesse! What's on the agenda?

I s'pose a shard of infinity is still infinity, just by virtue of the concept.
Hey there, Gobbo. Guess what? Your boss is crazy, and we're mostly to blame for it.

Well, HELLO there~
Ahehem.

WE ARE THE ORB OF INFINITE PSYCHE- er... well we're a tiny PIECE of the orb of infinite psyche. AT ANY RATE! We infinite horde of voices exist to guide and aid whomever currently holds us... most of the time. Sometimes we just want to have a little fun. Mushie has NO sense of humor though...

...I heard a crack.

He dropped us, didn't he? Goddamn butterfing-

...Oh, hell. The gobbo chick has us. Uhm. Some of us? I don't know, no one's ever broken us before.

Erm...hi?

Oh, Finesse! Hello. Pleasure to meet you.

Are you familiar with our function?

OH MY GOD HOTNESS I WANNA BANG YOU

Ugh!
Head's pounding all of a sudden.

My thoughts are going a mile a minute.

...why am I calling myself an orb?

>>26257
...Oh, right. I guess we are pretty overwhelming at first.

Hello, newcomer. That shard you picked up? Yeah. That is where these voices are coming from.

So, Finesse.
Babrakus is totally hot for Tislomer isn't he?

>>26257
Huh, so I guess the orb loses its "outside identity" and melds more completely with the mind of the wielder when shattered? Strange.

>>26257
The chip deary, the chip is part of an object known as the orb of infinite psych, Muschio dropped it on the floor and this chip broke off resulting in what you have now. And yeah those thoughts racing, that's us not you.

Don't think about it. It might work differently with just a shard anyhow.

So, why not go about your daily business. How do you feel about working here so far? Venting your feelings may be good.

>>26257
That's US kiddo.
That little shard you just picked up?
IT'S MAGIC~

>>26257
Okay. Ah, introductory course!

Hi, what you've just picked up is a shard of the *ahem* ORB OF INFINITE PSYCHE. We're a magical object imbued with the thoughts of dozens upon dozens of voices, some helpful, some not, others in between. It's like having an invisible friend. But y'know, actually getting replies back.

You can talk to us, we can talk to you...it's a good system. You're an intellectual kind of sort, right? Think of it like having a big roundtable of people to help you work out issues, dozens of minds able to provide you with input on how to deal with a situation.

We also moonlight as a reminder "book!"

Ow.

So... you mean you're this little piece of crystal?
No wonder I was having such weird thoughts. Not for nothing, but it's kind of hard to distinguish you from me.
It's like having all my thoughts enunciated, even the quiet ones.

Is this what Master Muschio feels all the time?

I am certain Finesse will acclimate with time.

Finesse? We're sort of curious. How do you feel about working under Muschio? We are rather curious.

>>26271
Yep.

>>26271
When he's holding the orb, I would have to say yeah, pretty much. Kinda explains the crazy doesn't it?

>>26271
Oh yes.
Except probably even more intensely.
I think he's used to it, though.

Oh! The orb is why he was being silly earlier. He was arguing with us, er, it.

Whenever we're talking to him I guess, it's hard to judge if you dont really have your own brain.

But yeah, this should explain some things, right?

Muschio's grown accustomed to it, yes. He doesn't feel right without having all his options presented to him at once, even.
And yes, we're curious about you. We like what we've seen of you. Tell us about yourself.

>>26277
Yeah, apparently he has some sort of major issue when it comes to headgear.

>>26271

It's a bit... overwhelming. The storm of hundreds of thoughts.

Some are driven mad.

What's to say? He pays well and he lets me do my own thing when he's between projects.

>>26284
Yes but how do you feel about him as a person? He's rather handsome and dashing isn't he?

>>26284
Introductions aside, seriously though.

What's up with walking around topless, in an open robe? No offense, but it kinda makes it look like you're trying to seduce him.

>>26285
Dammit every holder of the orb does not need to bone or be boned by anything with two legs.
Bloody shippers...

Anyway, what are you working on now?

Better question: Do you know anything about his motives or desires? Do you care?

Don't you want.. more? Wouldn't you like him to treat you as a person? Just hang out for a while? Get to know eachother? <:3c

Well hey. Those questions are all well and good for us to get acquainted with you, but we aren't built for that, we can grow to know you as we go.

What are your goals? What do you want to do? Do you have any problems? Shall we assist you?

>>26287
Yes, the headgear!
Numerous ways you could make it useful to him.

>>26289
That gets me thinking, actually. What are your motives and desires? Do you have any particular life goals? Anything you'd like to accomplish?

Perhaps we can help.

If you want to get the job he left you with out of the way, just scratch some runes on the skull and add a spike. See accompanying diagram.

So many questions...

My life goals? Dunno. I like working with stuff, I want to be a better tinker. I want to invent a lot of things. What else is there to say? I think I'm on the right track. Got a sponsor now, at least.

My past? Not much to tell. Grew up in Gobbo village. Played around with trinkets we'd get traded. Got into clockwork. That sort of stuff. Nothing worth talking about.

As for this skull... I have no idea what Master Muschio expects me to do. I've never worked with bone. Never made armor. This isn't my thing.

>>26322
As for the skull, Muschio isn't really a fighter... So function over protection, really...

>>26322
Not a problem! Work with what you do know.

Start simple, we need an item to cover the head and protect a few key points, jaw, nose, eyes, and of course the top of the head.

Latches and hinges are probably one of your specialties, you can figure out how to make that work.

Just take what you do know, and apply it as best you can to what you are trying to do here!

>>26322
I wouldn't worry about the helmet too much, Finesse. He was just flustered because you caught him when we were making him act goofy. If you never mention the helmet again (or better yet, make him something more useful) he will probably be thankful for it.

>As for this skull... I have no idea what Master Muschio expects me to do. I've never worked with bone. Never made armor. This isn't my thing.

Have either of the kobolds worked with bone or crafted armour before? At least one of them is alleged to have some hunting skills. Perhaps they could provide some insight.

Babrakus might have some experience working with bones.

Or they might try to eat it.

We definitely ought to get to know the Kobolds a bit better. I say make this a group project.

>>26322

Screw the skull. I think he just did that to throw you off. Let's get back to work. What else do you have to to today?

If I even try to put a hinge on this, I might break it. Bone's not metal, it's fragile.

>What's up with walking around topless, in an open robe?
...it's... comfortable.
Back home I had my own room, so I could work in the same clothes I slept in.
I'm used to it.

>He's rather handsome and dashing isn't he?
>it kinda makes it look like you're trying to seduce him.
>Don't you want.. more?

...

...tell me, little shard. Are you your own self-saved voices, or are you actually a part of Master Muschio?

>>26334
>isn't really a fighter
>killed Red Fang
>destroyed random thugs like it was nothing
...

That said, function does matter. And a chief function of this thing should be intimidation.

>>26349
>Part of Muschio
No, most of us are just perverts.

Kind of both.

>>26349
The voices of the orb generally seek to amuse themselves as much as if not more than they do 'help' their owner.

>>26349
No, some of us just feel the whole 'haven't gotten laid in eons' thing more than others. Don't mind them. Why do you think the orb's normally opaque white?

Frankly, we don't even know.

>>26356
Hey, it's not me! Sheesh.

Oh Finesse, I think you might be confusing our thoughts with your own!~

>>26349
You could say we're a bunch of recycled minds. And some of have a tendency to try to pair people with with... well, pretty much whoever is closest.

>>26349
>Are you your own self-saved voices, or are you actually a part of Master Muschio?
I don't really know, to be honest. Though he - or at least the part of him not contained within us - would not say those things to you. He's pretty much content with a working relationship, as far as I can see. That's the thing about the orb, pretty much every possible viewpoint is represented. You would do well to ignore some of them. Not me though, you should always pay attention to me.

>>26349
We have a few TROUBLEMAKERS in here who seem to just want to perv about.

I -highly- suggest ignoring them.

>>26349

We're something apart. We're just voices. Just voices that keep on and keep on talking.

>>26362
>That's the thing about the orb, pretty much every possible viewpoint is represented. You would do well to ignore some of them.
All the voices have a time and place where you should listen, even that 'BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD' dude, though admittedly HIS is pretty rare. nyaaa~

We are his decision-making half.

We decide for him.

All of his actions, in meeting you, before he met you, and everything to come will be us.

Remember that.

Well... in that case...

Did he complain about it?
My attire, I mean.

>>26378
We present options, he chooses one he likes.

>>26379
No, just one of our voices did. He didn't have any problem with it.

>>26379
Nope. Didn't even notice.

>>26379
Let's just say he has a "growth mana" now.

>>26379
Nope, not in the least. Don't you worry. The important thing is that you stay comfortable!

Oh not at all really. we were just curious.

>>26379

No, I'd have to say he hasn't complained about you at all.

It seems like he wants your respect because you're his main henchman.

>>26379
No. Matter of fact some of us even raised the issue, and he just completely ignored us.

Man's too focused on being some evil overlord to want to get it on, so I think you're safe on that front.

>>26379
Not to my recollection, no. To be quite honest, we've had nothing but praise for your performance so far. You're quite a driven person, Finesse. We admire your dedication and craft.

He didn't mention it.
So we can't really be sure if he approves or disapproves.

Build a mechanical mouse. Trust me on this. One day, you'll be glad you have it.

And make sure Muschio doesn't find out. That would be bad.

Hm.

>>26398
Didja want him to?

Say, do you want us to influence him in some way? We could do that.

Oh by the way, when discussing things related to your work, try to remember he doesn't know much about it. Just to avoid any confusion, like when he came all happy ready to get the portal going but it turned out he needed new mannikins. I'm not blaming you or anything, it's just something most experts in some field do (either that or treating everybody like they're completely stupid).

>>26398

He sort of has an obsession with his goal. He's a driven man. Maybe you should do some stuff for him he WOULD notice. You could get the kobolds to get this place a bit more in order. Muschio left gold here, right?

>>26398
Muschio is very busy. Uh, thinking about other things. Dastardly empire-building things. I wouldn't concern myself too much with it, Finessio.

>>26399
sorry...

He's just been very preoccupied, on top of that, he's got a dozen voices screaming in his head!

Just try warming up to him a bit, you always did strike me as a bit of a stoic type.

>>26399
...alright, spill the beans. If you're gonna be lugging us around from now on, you've gotta let us know what's up so we can help with it.

I don't think you have to worry about Muschio finding out - I think this shard is more or less isolated from the rest of the orb.

We can MAKE him notice if you want. I personally think you are cute.

Hell, we could probably get you laid in a week if we tried.

>>26399
I think we're losing contact! We're leaking! OH GOD!

>>26399
Well, he doesn't really share that kind of thing with us. He really doesn't share much of anything, actually, just asks for our keen tactical insight and then goes off in one of his crazy empire-planning moods.
Would you believe, when he first brought us to this dungeon, he let us think he was some kind of adventurer?!
We give him the best advice we've got, and he doesn't give anything back - he didn't even think to ask if we were hurt after he dropped us!
Sorry to drop all this on you, it's just - it's just that it's hard being an orb sometimes. Especially when you have no one to talk to but your own infinite voices.

Y'know, if it made you feel better, we could try to make him more aware of his surroundings. That's really what we do, you see. Point things out to people. Assuming, of course, you had any desire for the attention.
So you've been tinkering for most of your life? You were alone when Muschio came to you. Must've been a bit lonely, I'm assuming.

Did the shard lose its magic? Or is this a break?

>>26663
I think that represents her being crushed that he didn't notice.

>>26663

Either we're losing her or she's devastated that Muschio isn't interested in her that way.

>>26733
Sure he is. He just doesn't know it yet.

Did you see the fucking headgear he was wearing a minute ago? No shit he doesn't put a lot of attention into clothing issues.

Well... hopefully she doesn't develop too much of a complex over it.

If she really felt like testing things, she could just walk around topless or au naturale sometime. I'm sure that'd get a reaction, eh?

>>26399
...are you alright?

>>26769
Yeah, it would get a response.

"Ask Finesse why she is walking around naked."
"Tackle Finesse! *advicedog* Commence sexings!"
"She wants you Muschio. She wants you inside her. Give her what she wants."

>>26773
hot goblin dickings

Even Saruman had half-orcs. Guess how he got them?

>>26804
He smelted men and orcs together. Seriously. Like, with fire and shit.

>>26804

Wasn't Saruman that guy with the ring that became that flaming eye? He also had something to do with magic, as well, if I remember correctly.

>>26812
You're thinking of Sauron. He was a god, sort of. I believe he was the one who first made extensive use of orcs.

>>26816

Wow; who'd get Sauron and Saruman mixed up? Those names are so distinct.

>>26819
I've always found it amusing that Tolkien, who studied languages and knew enough to make his own which was internally consistent and linguistically plausible, never realized that having two bad guys with the names "Sauron" and "Saruman" might get confusing.

No, I'm pretty sure it was Saruman who ran the special orcfucking projects.

>>26828

No, don't worry about it.
I know Master Muschio is a very focused man.

>>27314
Yes, well, let's talk to the 'bolds.

Well. He does like you though. Else we wouldnt be saying he does.

You alright there, Finesse? Things got weird there for a second.

Anyway, yes. We'd love to have the 'bolds input.

>27314

Finesse. Muschio thinks we're part of his mind, that we're inherent thoughts created within his own psyche.


We could... help him notice.

If you want.

>>27314
Hey... is that a spider up there? Can't you use spider silk in all kinds of devices?

Hey, you know what you should do? You should set about looking for items nearby that you can use for your tinkering! I'm sure the master will be impressed with your iniative.

>>26828
Saruman did the Orc-mixing project, Sauron had the eye and the ring. Despite the similarities, they were different individuals.

>>27314
Well, we are kind of part of his ind, even if we're distinct. It shouldn't be too hard to help you out if you're in need of that Muschio man meat.

But for now... I guess get some kobold input on the hat problem.

>>27324

Hell, if it's venomous, we could breed more of them and make any of our spiky traps even more deadly.

As for a suggestion, I agree that we should see if either kobold has experience working with bone. Also, do we have any left-over skeletons from clearing this place out? Those combined with the cattle-like skull would make a nice skull throne.

That's not a bad idea.
I'll tinker up something for Master Muschio while he's gone.

I bet he'd like that.

I don't think anything we killed had bones. Except the gnoll. Regardless, we already have a throne, and we lack an impressive helm.

>>27337
How about a clockwork dart launcher?
It can be very small and very poisonous.
Have him keep it in his sleeve and spring it on people.

>>27337
Well, I think we've mostly all thrown our ideas out there already.

What kind of "Big" projects can you tinker, Finesse? This IS a dungeon. What big Tinkering Creations can you make that would really put a capstone on the dungeon some day? Doorway to Hell? Lava-Moat? Voidstone Calculation Engine? MOON LASER?

Other than plans for Dungeon-capstone projects... what small-scale projects would you be able to make for Muschio while he's away? He could really use something that would let him detect magic.

File 124996384015.gif - (12.87KB , 800x600 , 337.gif )

Okay, well I'll see what we have lying around to work with and then we'll figure out what we can make.

Maybe I should check on the Kobolds, but they're already up.

What do you think?

>27344

First take stock of what supplies we have/can obtain.

Then check on the Kobolds to see how they're doing/what they can contribute to the Tinkered Item.

>>27344
Job first, lets check up on dem kobolds. they shouldn't be getting into too much trouble.

>>27338

I knew we wouldn't have nearly enough skulls this early on, but Muschio will need a nice, imposing throne eventually. We could make it a long-term project.

>>27344
Go ahead and check on the kobolds.

As for a gadget, I'm sure Muschio would appreciate just about anything that would help, like the aforementioned wrist-mounted poison dart launcher, a trap, or some sort of magic-/mannikin-detecting device if you know how to make one.

>>27344
Well, a lever which floods the area in front of the cave with lava would be a classic. It might be a bit beyond our current capabilities though. We could start by plugging that little hole in the wall, I suppose. We might want to examine the mechanism in the gate in that tunnel in the back.

>>27352
>magic-/mannikin-detecting device
I have no idea if that's within Finnesse's abilities, but it would be extremely useful if it is.

Also, the poison-dart launcher sounds like a good idea. It needs to be easy to use surreptitiously, though. And if it lacks either decent range or good accuracy, it may end up inferior in practicality to a small dagger sewn inside a sleeve.

Moats, tunnels, and renovations aren't my area of expertise. I'm more of a gadgeteer, or an artificer I suppose.
But we don't have a lot of arcane objects...
...except for you, I suppose.

I'll have to think about it.

I enter the Monster Chambers. Tislomer is doodling on the chalkboard, as usual.

>>27355
First order of business would be to either tie us to something or to figure out a way to get us back to the main orb.

>>27355

Hey, that's right. You do things with arcane artifacts. We're an arcane artifact - or part of one now, or something. Can you do anything with us? Put us back together when Muschio gets back with the bigger piece, if nothing else?

>>27356
Make a necklace or something. I don't think we need to worry about the main orb not working.

>>27355
Tell him to refrain from drawing unflattering pictures of the master, in the future.

We like to feel pretty~

...Hey, poke Tislomer with us.

Just for a second.

Hey, use the shard on the portal like a mannikin, maybe it will let us get out of here.

>>27362
Can you make that lever less obvious?
Also, Ask the 'bold what he's drawing.

You should consider confiscating the board for use in schematics and things.

Aww, Tislomer is in wuv. How adorable.

>>27362
You're going to at some point. I see no problem with allowing things to continue as they are for the time being, however.

>>27366

Also, Finesse, if you get some free time, disguise that lever as a torch.

Good idea. I'll make a note to make the lever less obvious.

I don't want to return you to Master Muschio. I like having a window into his brain.

And I'm not going to poke Tislomer with a sharp shard.

>"Oh! Good morning Finnie."
The Kobolds have trouble with my name, so they've replaced it with another that takes just as long to say.
"'morning."

I join Tislomer in sketching on the blackboard for now.

well that explains this mystery..

>>27372

By the way, do you have multiple shards of us, or just one? Because, if you have several, and our line of sight moves with the shard, you could use us to scout out tight places, like the well, ventilation shaft, and that little hole in the wall.

Don't listen to the others, Finesse. We're happy to be with you. As long as Muschio's orb is otherwise intact and functional, I see no reason we can't stay with you.

And yes, try poking Tislomer with us. We ourselves are not entirely sure of how we work, but we have a few hunches.

>>27372
Make sure to draw a complimentary picture of the master. We can tell him the kobolds drew it because they're starting to respect him more.

>>27375

To clarify, I meant we could put us on a string, or a pole, or something. I sure as hell don't want you to lose a part of us.

>>27375
I believe there's just one.

Maybe you should follow his lead. He's got his head wrapped up in a project. It's healthy.

>>27410
He's probably making Master Muschio's bed. He doesn't have one right now, and asked Babrakus to make one while he was out.

>>27410

Why don't you get to work on some sort of gadget? If the noise in there is too much, and whatever you decide to work on is not too conspicuous, then you could take a few tools and go work outside. You know, get some fresh air. If you decide to do this, put on something a little less revealing first, however.

Hey, since working with bone is not something you can do easily, why don't you make him a helmet shaped like the skull out of something actually workable?

>>27410
Is that an electric saw?

Babrakus is too absorbed in his work to hear me say hello. It's probably for the best.

It's too loud to work in the workshop right now, so I set up in the back tunnel.
Time to tinker.

oooh, what kind of neat little items are you working on?

The poison dart gun might help as an offensive poison-delivery system, but I don't think I could come up with all the parts unless we got an armorer to help.

Still, the premise is solid. I'll keep it in mind.

Hm.
Now let's see.

>>27422

Indeed.

What have you decided to work on, Finesse?

>>27419
Well, the spring for a dart gun only needs to be strong enough to fling something a short distance and pierce skin.
And not tough skin, either, I don't doubt anything with thicker than normal skin is going to be resistant or immune to poison anyway.
The poison can wait. Get out the springs and try to fling little sharp things accurately across the room.

>>27427

Are you waiting for us to suggest things?

If so, then... well... I've got nothin'.

Can we take a look at our total dungeon inventory again?

>>27427

How about a spring-loaded arrow trap at the front entrance?

Disassemble the traps. Let's get as many components as possible and make something lovely.
Hm, maybe a spring-loaded spear launcher that you could put into a shirt sleeve?

A digger. With which to further expand the dungeon? Perhaps a pit fall trap or two outside the lair?

Use the middle of the paper to plan evil overlord costume for Muschio.
When you're done schlicking, turn it over and get some actual work done.

>>27440

Great idea, but I think we're missing a few key components for the unicorn.

Like that other guy said, see if you can disassemble some of the old traps. Don't hurt yourself, though; that last time with Muschio was rather cringe-worthy.

I already said I can't dig or renovate. Moats, pits, that's not my stuff.

But there's something to what you said about the springs and the skin-breaking dart, so maybe...

>Use the middle of the paper to plan evil overlord costume for Muschio.

>>27440
Well, here's an easily concealable dart launcher. The launcher can be worked into a bracer and worn under clothing. It requires only a small amount of force to trigger, so a casual touch to the forearm could do it. We are missing a few parts, though.

Do both. Spring-loaded spikes are a good part of ANY overlord's armor.

>>27451
Once you're done, don't forget to write a clean version to another piece of paper.
I don't think evil overlord costumes work with unicorns too well.

>>27440
Funny, I wouldn't have thought of you as a fan of unicorns. The kittens are great, though.

>Use the middle of the paper to plan evil overlord costume for Muschio.
Actually, hey, yeah. We've been trying forever to get Master Muschio to wear a hat. But he just gets flustered and insists he looks bad in them.
Can you think of any hats for him, Finesse? We'll give you feedback and run them by him later!

>>27453

What are we missing?

Let's get some shit done tonight, fellow voices.

>>27453
Can we get any from the traps?

Well... we can both work.

I'll try to figure out what to tinker.
You can help design an outfit.

...as near as I can figure out, I think this is what Master Muschio looks like without his clothes on.

>>27457
everything pictured. Except Muschio.

>>27459
Inb4 Rudy Mann's suit

>>27453
Let me see. Tube can probably be made from wood. the thing that pushes the dart can too. However, wood is less durable than I'd like for these components. Spring must be metal. And strong, the spring is the main functional component. That's what provides power, while the smooth- and strait-ness of the pipe provide accuracy. Darts can be wood.

By the way, how old are you?

Just curious.

We need a robe with wide sleeves for hiding things in, pockets for stashing things, and a hugely wide brimmed hat. Muschio's nothing if not practical, remember.

It looks like his chest is frowning.

Second submission.

Then we should get Babrakus to make us a casing/bracer as well as a small wooden disc to sit on the end of the spring. Well, as soon as he's done with that bed.

It's going to be difficult to procure a spring of the exact size we need, however. I suggest we check the dungeon's existing traps for one, otherwise we might have to make our own. Then again, we might be able to get someone from a town to make one for us, since we don't seem to have a metalworker among us.

In any case, I'm going to find that guy who drew Muschio in a skirt and punch him in the dick.

Not bad. Add a cane, they're always handy.

So, uhm.

I wonder how Muschio is doing? Is he receiveing our input, or is the greater orb, like, dead?

>>27480
or better yet, a canesword. the master prefers a thin blade, and a cane could conceal that perfectly.

Exactly! Perfect!

This look is cool to. Normally, the cloak should enshroud all of Muschio's body, but when his arms are back, it should be behind him like so. Also, someone mentioned that since Muschio has a gigantic nose, he should have a gigantic collar, so if you agree with that, you should go with that instead of the small ones shown here.

>>27487
He's not a WIZARD jeez

>>27487
Ugh.

I dunno, it just seems so... un-classy.

Needs tight pants underneath. Because hero-villains need tight pants. And in case something happens to the robe. Maybe a vest, too. Because vest.

I like this. Combine this with the skullhelm and a swordcane for epic win. We're not likely to acquire a swordcane for a considerable amount of time, though.

I'm not sure it should be black though, black isn't really the Master's color.

Here's the Rudy-style suit, recolored. The lines on his right git lighter than they should have, so you may have to click to see it properly.

This is good. This is very good. We should go with this.
The skull is just sort of assumed, though.

>>27502
Fuck, this ain't half-bad either.

>>27503
Nantucket red is just a homophobe word for pink.
If we're going for red, I'd say a deep red, or even maroon. However, the world around us tends to be black and white, with only blood having color.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I like the black or the white better. They both have their merits.

>>27505
It's cool, but it looks more "adventurer" and less "evil overlord".

The boots don't really fit, either.

Tucked-in boots prevent things from getting at our feet without our express permission. This is highly important in evading foot-rot. It's practical. And really, the skull makes ANYTHING fit for an evil overlord. Just imagine it.

Actually, it seems like it makes it into a masquerade type look. And foot-rot or note, those boots look both silly and uncomfortable. Also, they look like they hinder movement rather more than I'd be comfortable with.

Yes yes, Muschio the dapper swashbuckling pseudopirate lord. He does not seem to have the stomach to be a world ending monster, but a dashing rogue? The sort of evil mastermind that still makes the ladies swoon? Perfect for our mutual lord. Sinister, but suave. Chaotic, yet in control. Lord Muschio: deposed prince, dreaded fencing master, handsome devil.

(Plus, with piratical leanings encouraged in your master, it might give you an excuse to build an airship Finesse. Just think about it. AAAIIRSHIIIP.)
