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.

[tire]

OHH whoa ur rly smart!!
wats a first nation?! wat do they do??? that sounds like sth from an unsolved mystery show!!

[burningblossoms]

Native Americans in Canada are called First Nations. It's not anything unsolved.

whoaaaa
okay
so wendy's canadian?? NEAT

what do wendigos do

[burningblossoms]

Maybe. You're probably jumping to conclusions though.

Wendigos eat people? They are cannibals. They're also weird because it's hard to see them.

im learning so much new stuff 2day!!

...WAIT RLY
do they chase ppl down to eat them?!?! how is it hard 2 see them?!

[burningblossoms]

They do. But only if you're in the Canadian wilderness. In the winter. You'll be fine.

From what I remember reading, they move just on the corner of your vision. Like, they're only ever seen from the corner of your eye.

oh.... that's scary!! that's really scary!!!
so once they find you, it's over?!

[burningblossoms]

Pretty much.

But then, they're probably not real.

[tire]

Probably?!?!?

[burningblossoms]

If magic is real, why not Wendigos?
