Cross Scar

[PhotonDrop]

These confounded daggers hound me everywhere I go. If I break a box, there's a Cross Scar. If I kill a Bartle, there's a C͠r͞o͏s҉s S͡c̸a̕r̕.

You can normally hear it in one's voice when they're upset. You can rarely read it in one's text.

[yoshiblue]

Tis destiny. The gods demand it.

I'm all for having more Photon Drops in the forums. Then they can talk to each other when they get lonely.

Hell I don't know. It's gotta be, like, three, right?

[Scejntjynahl]

Ah, the good ole Moonspeak...

[PhotonDrop]

Okay, okay. I'm cool. It's out of my system.


I had to do some digging but I found this ancient Tinglese mural, depicting a very common scene from those days.

Time has eroded most of it away, but the important bits remain.
