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.

Oh. Doesn't stop it from being a problem, though. Taste is important. It's how people evolved to identify poison.

[unenvied]

Although I would hope that's less of a problem in today's society, I don't disagree. Unfortunately, I can't imagine that our complaints will change anything...

[compendiem]

It's something we'll have to live with, huh... I don't believe much in complaints either. This is something we can live with, though. The best sense to lose would be taste, if one had to be lost. Imagine everybody waking up blind.

[unenvied]

I don't even want to think about the chaos that would erupt.

[compendiem]

They took two colors, didn't they? But only one sense. Unless there's a delay.

[unenvied]

If we were blind, we wouldn't be able to read their posts.

Though I suppose there are ways of getting around that.

[compendiem]

To be honest. an audio post would be very useful. All the information can be conveyed on the go. We'll also have more insight to the identities of the staff.

[unenvied]

All the more reason why they likely wouldn't do it.

[compendiem]

...Do you really think they're working against us?

[unenvied]

I cannot say. However, from what I understand, they aren't eager to share their identities beyond their names. There could be entirely understandable reasons for that, of course.

[compendiem]

They said they can't. Perhaps they're under an oppressive higher-up, who will terminate them for revealing unnecessary information.


And by terminate, I mean kill, not fire.

[unenvied]

[Erk.]

I sincerely hope that isn't the case!

[compendiem]

Your hopes mean nothing. It's possible.

[unenvied]

Yes, that's true. And if it is the case, then my comment must come off as rather insensitive.

If there really are such dire consequences, though, then I don't mind the secrecy.

[compendiem]

With all the secrecy, I'd imagine they understand insensitivity. Thinking about it this way... it's still hard to accept, though. Knowing there are secrets, and never being able to reach them.

[unenvied]

It is frustrating. Still, that we're even in a position to know that there are secrets might be fortunate in itself.

[compendiem]

Is this the silver lining thing again?

[unenvied]

[...................]

Yes. Am I that obvious?

[compendiem]

It felt like you were trying. It's not a bad thing.
