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.

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?

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.

you won't be a player then

I can do both. And bias everything towards myself as a DM perk.

stop trying to get rid of me I'm already dying

I'm not. You don't want to be a player?

[uhhh... huh.]

I don't know

I didn't think about it so I don't have an opinion

Think about it now?

I guess I'm not opposed to it

I just thought I would dm because that's what I was doing

I probably wouldn't do as good a job as you. But if numbers are hard right now, I can take a turn. Like being a vice-DM.

[he thought he did a good job... he has to go stare at the ceiling and think about his life and maybe cry because he's so tired it's ruined his emotional fortitude

Once he's back, though...]

thanks

do you know what kind of character you want?

[ All these pauses in between messages are becoming concerning. Did Lalli fall asleep? Is he dead? Mysteries. ]

Goblin. I want to avenge Milla. Since I let her down. And screwed around a lot. And made things frustrating for you too.

[Is this... Is this friendship... He doesn't know what to do...]

any normal player would have killed her but you tried to help and you healed her too

and you were being weird but I had fun

That's good. Normal players doing normal things would probably get predictable and boring. Then you'd stop playing with me. Are the other people you found weird?

they're definitely weird

not as weird as you and sometimes a different kind of weird but yeah

Good. It'd be interesting, then. Also regretful if you're dead in six days.

one of them is playing a necromancer so eventually she can raise me from the dead

do you want a list of their names in case I do die though

[ You're mixing reality there, Lalli ]

How reliable. We'll have to focus on leveling her.
And sure.

[whatever.]

Tuuri Hotakainen
Prompto Argentum
Noctis Caelum
Ami Aihara (necromancer) (also a kid)
Emil Västerström

and you

I'll keep an eye out for them. Think I've spoken to the first two before.

you've talked to Tuuri but you might just think you talked to Prompto because you tried to dance with him

Tuuri's my cousin she didn't like the cancer talk?? I guess

Someday I will meet the real Prompto and get to dance with him.

That was it. The brain cancer talk. That's still possible even if it's unpleasant.

he has a boyfriend

yeah I know but she's not quite weird enough to think it's fine? does that make sense

Am I only allowed to dance with those who are single...?

That makes sense. A lot of people aren't fine with stuff I say. I'm learning.

I don't see the point in dancing unless you want to kiss the person I guess

yeah it's really annoying to have to think what will not be okay when it sounds okay to you

Hmm. Yeah. It's courtship, originally. Just thought it'd be fun to watch, since there's little opportunity to dance in the first place. Not enough disco floors in the city.

That's it. And when there's no effort on the other side to understand. Don't like having to explain everything.

there was one in the retrospec building but I wouldn't recommend it if it shows back up just get ddr

yeah

she just doesn't like thinking about bad things at all
