Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal.

I ate a mushroom that grew in the fridge.

[hjack69]

you mean a mushroom you got from the fridge
right??

[ hoping........... ]

[tarotcards]

No.

I think it grew off something else.

[hjack69]

WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS

[ DAMMIT SOUJI ]

[tarotcards]

Because I can.

And I'm curious. But mostly because I can.

[ what does jack expect from him by now?? ]

[hjack69]

cant you be curious about like
books or something
like normal kids

[daemonized]

He is far from a "normal kid". [And that's what makes him an awesome nephew.] You're wasting your figurative breath, I'm sorry to say.

[hjack69]

ardyn stop letting him graze like cattle im like
seriously responsible adult-ly concerned for his health
and i hate that

[daemonized]

Why do you hate it so much? What an exhilarating sense of responsibility it is, being a worrying family member. Like a knife, boring into one's chest.

But if it helps, I do my best to make sure he doesn't eat anything too questionable. Still, it's not as if I'm hovering over him 24/7.

[hjack69]

ardyn he was eying the canned cattle brains at the founders day festival
kids gonna get frickin prion disease
both of em are actually bc now theyre apparently in some weirdass competition to eat the most insane crap imaginable
i think my latent parenting instincts are kicking in
i mean i never had to deal with

its just weird

[daemonized]

What can I say? They're both very brave boys.

[Okay, yes, maybe Ardyn does get a little more concerned than he's actually revealing right now, but-- honestly, he's just their uncle. Not their parents. He can't command them to not eat rotten unicorn meat if they so desire.]

But I'll speak to them on your behalf, even though I don't think you're giving them enough credit. They have a tendency to... tease others, in their own trademark way.

1/2

[tarotcards]

No.

Because, like Izunia-san said, books are normal and I'm not normal

[tarotcards]

[ a second later... ]

I'd eat a book though.

[hjack69]

strangely i would rather you eat a book than like fuckin cow brains or something

[tarotcards]

What about books on cow brains?

[hjack69]

nah books ON things should be good







but dont eat any books about satan
just to be safe

[daemonized]

[Okay, despite his response to Jack down there, he does have to play the Slightly Concerned Uncle eventually.]

First refusing to sleep, and now eating wild fungus from the fridge? I know the latter was a strange "hallucination" of yours, but please try not to let that bleed into reality. If I have to take you to the ER, I'd rather it be from another heart-pounding, ill-timed chocobo racing accident.

[tarotcards]

I understand your concern, uncle. I cannot promise that I will refrain from eating any more questionable fungus, but I will at least attempt to avoid outright seeking them.

Luckily, in this hallucination of mine, I was quite okay. I just felt very itchy afterwards. No ER-related consequences (though I will gladly go to the ER for another heart-pounding, ill-timed chocobo racing accident but who wouldn't?)

[daemonized]

That promise is a fair enough compromise. [IT REALLY ISN'T but, he's secretly relying on the fact that Souji has a least a little bit of self-preservation sense in there somewhere.]

Do you remember /why/ you decided to eat it?

[tarotcards]

To be completely honest...

Yes. I remember eating it because it was there and because I could. I believe it was something about raising my courage as well.

[daemonized]

[Or maybe. He's wrong.]

There's a thin line that separates courage and "I want to destroy my insides". I'm not certain that you didn't cross it.

[tarotcards]

[ if ardyn tried the wonders of fridge horrors then he wouldn't be judging right now ]

Destroying my insides is a risk that you must take in order to raise your courage. It's not brave if there aren't any risks to take.

[daemonized]

Nor is it brave if you feel no fear. Then it's just recklessness.

But tell me that I can trust your better judgment, and I'll say no more on the matter.

[tarotcards]

You may trust my judgment.

Though you should really attempt liberating yourself from eating conventional food one day and eat whatever you please. It will really free your soul.

[daemonized]

I'm afraid my experience is very limited when it comes to eating questionable... I'm sorry, conventional food, Souji.

Maybe you could lend me a suggestion?
