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.

[It's definitely anime as heck. The sword doesn't make it any better, but at least it's not Edgelord Y2K anymore...]

if it was just the abilities i wouldn't be complaining

but after dealing with monsters for a month, being thrown out of the city with no way of getting back, and all of this stuff coming out of the fog a couple months ago, it's hard to say if it isn't more trouble than it's worth

[[continued from here!]]

it probably SHOULD be scary. all of us were pretty freaked out by it too

but it's like i said. after a while you get used to it

someone said a while back that maybe they were easing us into everything, that there'd be something even bigger down the road that they're preparing us for. once you've accepted mysterious apps and memories of a life that wasn't yours, it makes anything plausible, right?

I think so. At least... it makes sense. Once you accept a wider variety of things as true it makes everything else easier to believe, right?

I'm actually surprised I believe all of this, but so many people have told me similar things I just can't ignore it.

good, because if things go the way they have in the past, you'll get a taste of it soon enough. the beginning of the month is normally when stuff starts to happen

The beginning of the month? I guess I need to start bracing myself for something happening.

[[continued from here!]]

depends on if they're being affected by it or not

when blue disappeared jim made sure we knew that janet still had her blue eyes. the retrospec logo stayed blue, too

but if they're suffering from not having any sense of taste too, i think they'll work to get it fixed a lot faster than they did blue

[[continued from here!]]

yeah, you know that already, what's your point

retrospec's always fucking stuff up. it'll pass eventually

[He says, not realizing how much he's going to want to start subsisting on potions after eating tasteless food for too many meals...]

so?
still gonna bitch about it.

[Don't you start chugging potions bro, those moogles will price gouge just watch]

[[continued from here!]]

i don't really care about the monsters. from what i've remembered of the other me's life, it's par for the course

are you talking about christmas lights? slacker

[Dante shut up it's not like you're putting any up either...]

[what the fck he came out here to talk about monsters and he's honestly feeling so attacked right now]

it's not my fault!!!!
my roommate is too picky
he says everything I buy is tacky

[maybe it is, maybe it isn't THE POINT IS, HE'S TRYING]

[Oh good he's learned what Dante's all about already then!]

who's your roommate? sounds like he's a pretty picky guy

[You know, he should probably be a little bit more concerned with privacy and sharing information in public spaces like this, but 1. Retrospec apparently knows everything about them anyway, and 2. this is Yasusada.]

Do you know Kiyomitsu?? [At least he's leaving off the last name, though it's mostly just because he doesn't think it's necessary.] if you don't, just know that he's very spoiled

oh man you should've started with that, yeah i know kiyo

that explains EVERYTHING

a while back he was telling me how bad his boyfriend's taste in fashion is

[Which reminds him he really needs to track down a pair of sweatpants to wear in front of him...]

of course he does
Well
He's the one who picks out my clothes most of the time anyway so isn't he just calling his own taste bad??

[pompom logic...]

[WHOOPS HE FOUND THE BOYFRIEND, OKAY

shit, what was it he wasn't supposed to say to him? Standby, he's checking his texts out again...

OH RIGHT]

i don't know, he was telling me how he was going to set a coat of yours on fire once

which reminds me i've got a suit i was supposed to pass off to you, kiyo sounded really excited about it

oh that

[it's a testament to their relationship that he already knows what Dante's talking about, rip.

UNFORTUNATELY he's too trusting in some instances, so he just totally believes this?? And also apparently doesn't feel the need to inform Dante of the fate of Said Coat.]

really??
I don't really wear suits
but if you're getting rid of it anyway then I guess I'll take it sure

[the less fashion he has to buy for himself the better]

[Oh no... question some things... honestly though Dante can't just drop this suit on him; it's ripped and torn and has most definitely seen better days.

...and is in the style of the 1960s with pinstripes; can't forget that.]

cool, i'll figure out a way to get it to you

but so you know, you shouldn't actually plan on wearing it more than once. it's what i was wearing when we all came back from unreality in august. i was giving kiyo shit about giving it to you because of how opinionated he is about fashion

though if you wore it once to get his goat that'd be pretty funny

[ALAS clothing repair is not a skill he has ever needed to develop...

TORMENTING KASHUU THOUGH that's a totally different story and he is on board with this]

in that case
I'll wear it every day

[he's a lil shit]

[AND SO A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP IS FORGED]

perfect, this'll be great

[listen yasu has kashuu saved in his phone as "flower power", this is the only possible outcome for this meeting]

just let me know when it's ready and I'll come get it!!

nah, i'll bring it to you

just let me know where to go and i'll get it to you in a couple days

okay

[and he'll just
type out his address
on public social media this is fine]
