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.

This post is the overflow for the post originally found here! Please feel free to make new toplevels or simply shift your threads over.

Or rather, being infuriating is.
negativism: (Now feel my right; It's now or never)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-03 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Same thing in either case. Ugh.

Anyway, haven't seen you around lately. Things going alright?
cattack: (And when I catch you...)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-12-03 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
To put aside matters of Retrospec, yes.
I've spent the past month or so cramming nonstop.
Entrance exams for Recolle Police Academy were scheduled, and I had to cram for those.
But I passed.
negativism: end (A hard resolution that is true to the)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-04 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, congrats! Was the the final eval before training, then?
cattack: (You're kind of adorably dumb.)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-12-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's right.
I'm now officially enrolled in the academy.
negativism: (But now I see all the signs)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-04 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, good luck!

Oh, right. So remember when we fought that mage dude and I sprouted scales?
I may or may not be further turning into a lizard-person. I can kinda set things on fire now.
cattack: (What the fuck is this!)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-12-04 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Are you all right?
Do you need to meet up and talk about it?
You may be the first other person I've met going through something like this.
negativism: (So defying - you're screaming again)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-04 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Outside a couple minor accidents, yeah. Hasn't been too bad. Can at least get a decent clamp down on the scales.

Though talking about it with someone else who's dealing with weird body changes might not be a bad idea either, honestly.
cattack: (Tell me more of these 'ninja turtles'.)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-12-04 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd offer to meet over coffee, but coffee has just become rather pointless...
Still, the offer stands.
You can get a clamp down on the scales?
negativism: (But you really lit a fire)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-04 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't remind me. Still pissed about that.
But let me check over my schedule, might be able to slip out for an hour on break or something.

Yeah, apparently they're a defensive mechanism, so they really only show up if I'm either:

a.) Stressed
b.) In actual mortal danger
c.) want them to pop up.

Lucked out in that sense, though there's still the problem of accidentally setting things on fire.
cattack: (You're kind of adorably dumb.)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-12-04 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
An hour seems like all I'll be able to manage for the foreseeable future, as well...
Police academy keeps you busy.

It's lucky you can turn them off for now, at least.
You got some kind of fire magic?
negativism: (No fun to be behaving)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-05 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
No worries, I get it.

Yeah, definitely glad for that. The fire magic is still a bit unwieldy, but it's been scorching a couple papers at worst, thankfully.
cattack: (>:T)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-12-05 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully not important papers.
negativism: (See now over this you meddler)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-05 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Perks of most of our important paperwork being digital. Scared the hell out of the cats that morning, not that I could blame them.

Are your cats okay?

negativism: (And now our paths; they have to change)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-06 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
They're fine! More surprised than anything, they did a similar thing when the scales first appeared.

[LOOK AT HER NEW JOURNAL NAME SHE'LL FUCK U UP FOR THEM]

I can imagine.
They'll probably get used to it eventually.
But if you want to get them used to it faster, try having them out while giving them treats.
negativism: (Never; never lean on you)

[personal profile] negativism 2017-12-06 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Might have to keep that one in mind. Need to work on controlling having the scales out for a longer period of time a bit better anyway, so it'll kill two birds with one stone.
