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.

Not all radioisotopes do...

I'll try it though. Don't I always?

[kulam]

that's the spirit, mary
i knew i can always count on you
like explaining this app to me bc im too dumb to process any of this

[creatability]

It's an app that you can't uninstall or get rid of.

Basically while you're on the app, you'll see weird stuff. You may get strange memories.

Apparently those are tied to past lives that we led. Some of those lives were quite extraordinary.

[kulam]

[ there's a long pause, and then ]

and i thought you're one of the more levelheaded people i know, mary
i still don't get it
but maybe that's bc im that slow on the uptake

[creatability]

I promise. I am not making it up.
This application, somehow, lets you see and process a kind of secret world.
I wish I was making it up.

Do you want proof something weird is going on?

[kulam]

well
aside from the fact that green "just came back"
and the realization the horses are supposed to exist

sure, hit me with your best shot

[creatability]

Open a video chat with me.

video;

[kulam]

[ aaand switching to video. sucy's just blinking at the screen, wondering what she's supposed to expect. ]

...What's up?

[creatability]

[Mary smiles and waves.]

Okay. Don't freak.

[She holds out her arm. Twists it to show she's hiding nothing, and then taps it...producing a small spoon. Just, a spoon. Right out of her arm.]

[kulam]

[ at least sucy isn't the type to jump out of her seat or anything, but she's blinking rapidly, pressing her face closer to the screen to get a better look at whatever just happened. ]

Doesn't that hurt?

[creatability]

Not even a little bit.

[She waggles the spoon]

It's a power that I learned that I have.

[kulam]

A power... [ still squinting ] You some kind of mutant now?

[creatability]

Yes, like one of the Z-Men.

[somewhere, the 90s calls out to them both.]

[kulam]

That's... really cool.

[ she still sounds deadpan but trust me, she's impressed ]

Does that mean I can be like that too or is it special in your case only?

[creatability]

Hard to say if you will or you won't.

A lot of people seem to develop special abilities after getting the app though.

[Weirdly, a lot of them.]

And those memories.

[kulam]

memories of what
from our childhood or

[creatability]

Past lives.

[kulam]

hfngfhgdfhgdgh
mary you gotta be a lot clearer than that
im not smart like you

[creatability]

Okay.

Your past life. The life your soul lived before this one. That's what I mean.

[kulam]

[ okay yeah forgot to turn off video chat for now ]

past life........
uh
is this some reincarnation thing?

[creatability]

Yes, I think?

Probably? I'm just going off what I was told.

[kulam]

hmmmmmmmmm
still trying to wrap my head around this but
i think ill go ask around for more details

thanks though, you've been a big help as always

[creatability]

Of course. Be well, Sucy!
