IMO Cutest things/moments in Eternum (as of 0.6):
-Nova's nodding animation.
-Any time we pat Nova's head.
-Annie playing with Calypso's ears.
-Luna hugging Pancho.
-Annie answering Orion by nodding in the space server.
-Luna and Orion Dia de Los Muertos photo.
-the way Luna looks at Orion as they're about to kiss for the first time.


and what about you guys? what are your cutest things/moments in Eternum?
These are good ones. I'd add:
• Penny's flirtatious looks at MC during Halloween
• Annie flustered and talking fast
• Nancy while thinking about MC during Yoga
• MC taking Luna's hand while talking her down from being scared of rotting mommy boggart. (added late)
... and my No. 1 ...
• Luna looking in MC's eyes after discovering he's "safe" to touch.

Not only do I like this idea better than the one you're commenting on, but Ripples is already out there. While I could see some sort of dimensional loop being involved, I don't think it's going to be that convoluted.
There's definitely some time related things in the story but i truly doubt it will do a full on back to the future.
I'm guessing some sort of time loop or orion dying before. There are lots of implications that this isn't the first time these events have happened. Especially the whole coin flip stuff.

I agree with that. I definitely think it could be some kind of loop involving the WHOLE event, from start to finish, but not a segmented loop that could see MC and Calypso become the legendary progenitors of Calypso's history and her Great(^X)-grandparents.

The best part about this entire thing is that Alex goes from this cool, aloof character, to just as much a kid as MC who brings out her inner kid without even trying.

All through this, they're supposed to focus on the mission and they know better but BOTH are distracted by this one thing like it's a---

SQUIRREL!
Now I'm wondering what'll occur once Alex falls deeper in love with young Mr. Richards, will she act more lovey-dovey with him around? Perhaps in private to keep her "cool" girl image (even when it's clear she's a softie). The image below from v0.2 already made her think she found the prince her Nana said she would one day.

But at least in this one instance, she had the right to feel suspicious about him (alongside her dear gluttonous friend):

I totally want there to be a scene in a later update where MC walks in on the girls -- maybe all of them -- sitting around a table with Eva chatting about who-knows-what and he's politely demanded to leave the room and not come back until he's called. (certainly the MC will only be able to guess from the dark looks they give him). That said, I don't think she'd spill, so for something like that, they'll have to somehow find out from him first. (Also, in that situation, with them probably already mostly knowing about each other, I think they'll give him a pass, especially since by then I think they'll like her.)

I hope not. If that scene were to happen, I hope we're given a choice to tell them politely to fuck off.

So Orion gets killed and Alex gets captured but the former finds a way back into the real with Calypso and now we have to spend 2 updates trying to track Alex down, form a plan to rescue her by dragging Chang and recruiting Raul and Noah into this, then busting into Ulysses HQ for her. Got it.

If all 3 Expendables were to be recruited for the mission, that might well be Jerry's last job
Last job in the real world, you mean. If Orion - in his struggle to get back to the real world - ends up blowing up the server where the excommunicated players and souls captured by Ulysses are being processed into NPCs, I can see Jerry popping up in Eternum sometime after the Alex rescue with his memories intact, demanding to join the crew to "redeem" himself to Dalia (under the delusion that he'll still be able to win her back) once they start to go after the Founder (and then getting hilariously put out of commission (but not dying since he's dead already at this point) during the assault on Acheron).

I expect allusions to another furry little animal might be more accurate.
