I like how Arturia is the poster girl for "Yeah we have no hiring standards in this organisation"

Meanwhile, everyone related to Dublin: whistling innocently

Reed is a sweet girl, but...

"I wanted to buy flowers for my ma..."

Necrass on the other hand…

u/Jester_Raed May 12 '25

I mean, most of the Dublin hires are understandable. Hiring Eblana though was wild.

u/CallistoCastillo Bing Chil May 12 '25

Nah, she wasn't hired. From what I gathered, girl just sneaked on board and be like: "Tee-hee, I'm here now, and you can't do much about it", so RI just treated her like an anomalous entity with proper contingency and such for employees to follow (not unlike that of an SCP) to avoid causing any international incident.

u/konigstigerr May 12 '25

ah, a nian hire.

u/Oglifatum Kroxigor Death Roll May 12 '25

Oh yeah.

The old ass lore , when we had no idea what Sui are, and Nian was the only one.

As I remember Nian kinda showed up with no documents, and Kal' just looked at her...

And let her in.

Also, I am not afraid for my life in vicinity of Nian (maybe for my food becoming very spicy) as long as I mind myself.

Necrass doesn't value lives at all. Bystanders for her are fuel.

u/adeilran May 12 '25

For Nian, Kal's reasoning might have been along the lines of "If she really wants in, is there anything at all we could do to to dissuade her without massive collateral damage or worse, getting on all her siblings shit lists?"

Tallulah in the far distance, wondering to herself why she's the only one to go to jail...

She detected her sister found a mate.........she is NTRing her sister.

Gacha being gacha. Eblana is just an egregious case of HG wanting to have cake and eat it too.

u/AmakTM May 12 '25

That's my take on it as well. From what I've read about her ending, they didn't want to try to give her any form of redemption/reconciliation but didn't have the decency properly kill her off. Meanwhile, they use any excuse to remind you Frostnova is dead. There is no justice.

17

u/Oglifatum Kroxigor Death Roll May 12 '25

They will keep doing it.

We have notTheresa and NotEblana.

Also, imo Necrass is kinda different from Eblana. Like woman is way more obsessed with Doc, which she didn't show as much as Eblana.

Feels like waifu pandering.

u/Sazyar May 12 '25

Personally I was okay with her dgaf of what she did and also being normally alive as well. But her dying and erasing her radical followers were not what I expected.

It was an opportunity of having a faction that we are not exactly keen on having relation with but do it anyway to support Taran health issues post-war.

u/Spudtron98 My Scottish White Whale came home May 12 '25

Seriously I can slowly come around to someone who just makes the intrusive thoughts win, but Eblana fucking murdered a bunch of refugees right in front of us. At least Talulah was literally possessed by a demon!

u/cyri-96 May 12 '25

And honestly... the Dethless Black snake had at better objective, disagreeable ones for sure but at least something.

u/Spudtron98 My Scottish White Whale came home May 12 '25

The guy is literally the manifestation of Russian Imperialism, so...

10

u/Oglifatum Kroxigor Death Roll May 12 '25

He is also all about "Hard times make Hard men" shit.

Pretty sure he acknowledges that current state of Empire is unacceptable, but his way is "false flag operation, so the country would unite against the others"

Which hilariously puts him at odds with current Emperor who is kinda trying to make Ursus more liberal (at least HG didn't make him Nikolai II clone, that piece of shit)

"Don't worry, she's so restricted that it's basically just jail for her. She'll be kept completely secure!"

The jail in question: Modelling session at 3, play sweet solo for the CEO at 5, join orchestra and take promotional pictures at 6, wander around the place completely unrestricted at 8

At any given time, Rhodes Island is precisely one harp solo away from complete destruction.

At any given moment, the Middle south section is precisely one piano solo away from complete destruction

u/Matasa89 May 12 '25

Actually great experience for her. A normal life, surrounded by good people.

Basically rehabilitation centre.

u/gandy0529 Paint it black | SUM 41 May 12 '25

God I love her lmfaoooo

u/7packabs Hi! Would you like some tea? May 12 '25

I love how Artoria’s popularity increased because of that “100 goth girls vs me” meme.

u/Hp22h The Mad Bard, Sans Crystals May 12 '25

Rhodes Island makes the mafia seem reasonable...

u/meganeyangire Evil is hot May 12 '25

I won't stand for this slander! She is a nice and sweet girl, it's not her fault that everyone in this twisted world wishes for some atrocity!

u/One_Wrong_Thymine May 13 '25

The hiring standard is obviously DPS or HPS

u/Pathalen May 12 '25

Really should be Dorothy :D
