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.

I've learned by now that asking questions won't get me any answers.
And yet, I have to try, anyway.
What do you mean by 'carrying words around'?

Hitori Togusa That...clarified...nothing. Thanks.
Hitori Togusa I know you all seem to believe in that thing we found with the Four Founders. So then the real question, if we help you complete this thing you want, do those completed souls go home and we get our lives back? I believe so. But I want to know for sure.

Oh! I just read up on Wendigos! They were highly associated with cannibalism in certain cultures and said to turn into monsters if they ate human flesh.

Cool, right? (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ I'm still looking for a good picture of one.




... Um, I mean, not to say the other parts aren't important, of course. She seems a bit upset...

So that's either "unorthodox solutions will win the day" or "there are two kinds of problems: those that can be beaten to death with dictionaries, and stupid problems." Duly noted! ♡

...Honestly, this is slightly less insipid than last month's announcement, though that says rather little, in the end; I find it hard to believe that Halloway was apparently less helpful than this?

... that isn't comforting, but I'll grant that was more than we usually get from Retrospec.

Ms. Wiseman, if you need us for anything, just ask.

Now, for one last thing. Is anyone else feeling ... kind of off, today?

How delightful. I love knowing that I'm only here because of an astronomically small probability that I just happened to drift into your net.

Also my Mountain Dew doesn't have any taste anymore. I'm going to guess that's something that got knocked. I'd rather it be grey than this.

I've counted myself lucky that a lack of color doesn't do anything for me since I can't see anything anyway.

But I'm pretty sure some of my favorite foods don't taste like anything. So...Merry Christmas courtesy of Retrospec?

That wasn't at all enlightening. But these things usually aren't.

I guess I'm back on the network now? It looks like even if you disappear there's a possibility that you can come back. I'm going to guess that's random too.

Did I miss a lot in November?

Hehe, I admit, I've always been interested in the supernatural.

And I'm not as familiar with American myths so I've been studying!

Have you tried drinking that AJ?

Ok. That answers the question of whether or not these guys are like us. I guess??
Are we supposed to try stuff at random now until we figure out what else got messed up? That sounds like it'll be a blast.
