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.

It doesn't work like that.

[dulynoted]

When no "unsubscribe" link is provided you can reach out to the moderator.

[glaciers]

They don't talk to us on this app. This is the most communication we get out of them and they never reply.

You're stuck with this.

[dulynoted]

So they're baiting their user base?

[glaciers]

They just vaguely tell us what's going on and then leave us until next month.
It's not very useful most of the time.

[dulynoted]

Then what exactly is the point of this? You all sound resigned.

[glaciers]

To give some announcements? You know how games have those newsletters that nobody reads?
It's like that.

We've had to deal with this thing for months.

[dulynoted]

Sorry, I mean the app itself. I can tell it's mean for social media but it looks like it's ripping off and integrating cut-rate versions of Facebook and Twitter.

[ You've finally met the guy who might actually read the user agreements. ]

[glaciers]

It's so everybody who's been affected by the app can communicate.
It disappears if you give it to somebody who isn't on the network.
Mom isn't here, so if I give her my phone the app disappears.

I think it's just to make things easier?
It doesn't override Twitter or Facebook anyway.

[Why are you this way.]

[dulynoted]

[ ...

What. ]

"Affected" by the app? That's an interesting choice of words.

[glaciers]

You'll get weird memories back and you'll realize when the world's being weird. Like the way we were missing green and blue for a while.

[dulynoted]

[ ...Does he realize how absurd that sounds? No, he has to. Maybe if he was the only one. ]

So that's what "Joanne" was referring to?

[ Huh. ]

This "unreality".

[glaciers]

That's right.

[Akira can't see the thousand year stare Shouto's directing out his window right now. But that's happening.]

You'll get used to it sooner or later.

[dulynoted]

[ He can't see it, but he can feel it. ]

What exactly is the unreality?

[glaciers]

This is going to sound like a made up story, but it did happen. Ask Yato, Penelope or Carmen Sandiego and they'll confirm this.

I was sent into another dimension with a couple other people on the app. There was a lady who was turned into a harpy and a guy who was turned into a llama. And then we were sent to space where a space sphinx told us how to get home. We piloted a mecha.

The ocean went missing and there were monsters flying around.

As far as I can tell it's a break in reality, things get warped.

[dulynoted]

[ What kind of name is Carmen Sandiego? ]

Your'e right, it does sound like a made-up story.

Given the fact that a few of the tests already proposed to me have proven true, I'm going to operate under the assumption that you're correct, as hard as it is to swallow. The multiverse is purely theoretical but it's becoming more widely accepted...it's not entirely impossible.

Still. A llama?

[glaciers]

[what kind of name is Light]

I don't know why he was a llama. I wasn't the one who found him, I just heard about it while we were waiting to go to space.

[dulynoted]

[ His name is Akira now gosh!! Totally different, totally subtle. ]

That is a sentence I don't want to have to reread.

[glaciers]

[Whatever he says.]

Nobody's forcing you to.

[dulynoted]

No, but to think I was having a perfectly normal if somewhat boring day a few hours ago makes me regret turning my phone back on.

Regardless, this is a lot to consider and take seriously all in one go.

[glaciers]

Yeah, I know what that feels like.

You've got plenty of time to get used to it.

[dulynoted]

[ Continued here. ]
