1) don't be dumb. my name isn't a pun on wendigo. i'm not a wendigo. i'm a humanoid from aht. 2) i can probably kill you more efficiently than a wendigo anyway? what the fuck do they even do? 3) i don't care about the other inane bullshit enough to comment. ok, the number list thing is boring as fuck. moving on. the kids talked about grabbing souls and them being knocked out of alignment last time. i'm allowed to pick one damn thing to clarify here within a bullshit rulebook, so let's clear up this: it's not like anyone is picking and choosing which to grab. one soul looks pretty much like another, you know? i've been waiting a pretty long time to see if any will be from my homeworld. none of you are. not like they're trying to grab anyone in particular. but if you were wondering about "why" it's "because you were fucking there". think of it like a band of traveling hoarders. they see remnants of a world in a mess of shards and pick them up before the shards disappear. i was a shard, but i still had my body. i also happened to not be on aht when it met its end. they don't stay put. pieces and bits of whatever. they travel, and some of them are already here, because you are. so i stick around because maybe eventually someone they pull out of the dark might be someone i knew. but yeah, no one gives a single fuck about worth. that's the mystical how do you choose me or this other person i remember who deserves it more answer: you happened to be there, and they weren't. or they haven't been yet. you're welcome. Wendy Guo Security/Archivist Retrspec Incorporated Hi! Just so you know, we've re-stabilized green! Although I see some alerts on my screen so that's not great, something else got knocked out? I have to go figure out what. But as a tip, unreality functions on a lot of loopholes. Try carrying some words around or thinking outside of the box if you get into a pinch, okay? Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green has been entirely returned to the world and everyone's sense of taste has officially disappeared. You win some, you lose some. Please note that as tiers are reached we may delay them by a week or so per tier in order to allow people to play with the loss effects! While the world regains post may be used for OOC knowledge, please know that nothing is in effect until a mod-announcement goes up (this may be an IC announcement as well, depending.) The freebie that can be earned on this post requires one thread featuring at least five comments from you with one new character. Please note, we define "new character" as any of the incoming new characters from the application round (regardless of TDM tags you may have done with them) or any in-game character your character has not threaded with before. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "December Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past December. 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.

A humanoid from aht? Where is that? Is that where we came from?

[matchbreaker]

She just said no one is from her homeworld, so probably not?

[lastcomfort]

Oh, that's true! That does make me sad. She must feel lonely!

[matchbreaker]

Do you think?

Assuming that we really are those people, I don't think we're all from the same world to begin with.

[lastcomfort]

I think the visions people are seeing might be their past lives! And we were all reborn after our planet got destroyed. It's happy and sad, when you think about it.

[matchbreaker]

I don't know what to think about it just yet.

But I can tell you that I've yet to see anyone I recognize from her memories here. But I know others have experienced that. So there are some worlds with many people, some with less.

[lastcomfort]

Wait...does that mean we could be the last survivors??

[matchbreaker]

That's exactly what she's implying, I'm pretty sure.

[lastcomfort]

That's...

That's really sad!

[matchbreaker]

[ That woman's family? Her family, those members of it... ]

Yes, it is.

[lastcomfort]

I wonder why? I don't think the me I am now would be very good at escaping a planet.

[matchbreaker]

They said they plucked up souls without knowing who or what they were, right? It's possible that they didn't escape either.

[lastcomfort]

I guess I mean...does this make us lucky?

[ Or is it survivors guilt, if that is a thing in this case? ]

[matchbreaker]

Assuming any of this is real, *absolutely.*

Aren't you happy to be alive and live the life you've had so far?

i doubt it.
i am definitely working under the idea we are all aliens at this point and that means different homeworlds.

[lastcomfort]

I think we're aliens too! Or zombies. Or both! It's hard to tell, I think.

[windeity]

why zombies? i do not think we were DEAD.
i mean not all of us.
people might have been dead.
hard to say.

[lastcomfort]

I thought we were dead because all our worlds were destroyed! And our souls were brought here to be reincarnated and live more happily. Except now we have monsters and can't taste cake.

[windeity]

could monsters taste cake in the first place?

[lastcomfort]

I mean we can't taste cake! I don't know if monsters can. I hope so! I think everyone deserves cake.

[windeity]

if i find a monster again i will ask because i think you are right. everyone deserves cake.
especially us for putting up with this bullshit.

[lastcomfort]

Do you think they're doing it on purpose?

[windeity]

normally i would say yes but it always sounds like they do not actually know what is going to happen before it happens. can they make things happen on purpose without knowing?
