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 Retr  spec IncorporatedHi! 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 Retr spec IncorporatedAs 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. |

Super-strength!
...Yeah, I know that sounds pretty boring and standard - but think of all the stuff you could do! Like, you could punch out the bad guys, save people from car wrecks and earthquakes and stuff -- you wouldn't have to deal with anyone pushing you around.
And it'd look great for the chicks.
...Flying's still pretty up there, though.
no subject
[...there's a chuckle though.] But glad to see you have your priorities in order. [Alright, alright...he'll touch down to the ground again.]
no subject
Hey, maybe you'll get that, too.
[Gar just... kind of swipes his hand over John's head (he gets on his tiptoes) in case there were still any strings involved somehow. There are not.]
...I seriously can't believe this is happening. I mean... I dunno if I'm psyched about whatever weird stuff's going on with the city, but. This memory stuff...
...Do ya think I'll get something cool?
[He seems to be... unusually earnest.]
no subject
Maybe. It's hard to say what people will get if they don't remember yet. [It's fine, he knows it looks weird.] I think...it really depends on how you look at it. Some of the stuff I've been getting back is really exciting but some of it is just a little weird. What would you consider cool? Besides flying and superstrength? What if it was something almost...lowkey?
no subject
...Yeah, I guess that's a dumb question.
Anything's cool! Lowkey is fine. Maybe I'll get the power to know what the right question is on multiple choice tests. That'd probably be even more useful than flight, huh?
I dunno.
...Something that'll help.
no subject
A friend of mine got a power back that I think she's sometimes afraid to use. But it can still be a good thing if she uses it for good. Whether you get flight or super-strength or something kind of goofy like growing your nails super-fast, it'll be an advantage once you think about it.
All of us started out as normal. You'll probably be fine if you end up with anything.
no subject
[He cuts himself off, realizing that he's about to sound super selfish.]
Yeah, that's fair. Wait, so -- what are we supposed to do about all of this? Are there like, people we're supposed to be fighting with these new memories and powers and stuff...? Do we just kind of sit around and wait for stuff to happen to us?
There needs to be an instruction booklet that comes with this thing...
[He shakes his phone.]
no subject
Yeah, a few people are thinking we might need a newbie guide or something. It's not always people we're fighting, but monsters have been known to show up in the city and outside of the city, too. Dragons and demons and stuff like that. Sometimes people, too. [October was a mess.] I think there's like a fight club run by somebody on the network that helps people train? It helps to be prepared since we never really get a huge warning as to what's going to show up.
no subject
[He could exclaim for the a hundredth time that this was unbelievable, but at this point, John could tell him that the town was actually made of butterscotch pudding and he was a pudding golem and he'd have to believe it.]
Huh.
I'm down for that. Dragons are great. I like dragons. What happens to the monsters after?
no subject
I'm not sure they're permanently gone but they're gone for now. The other monsters from before were sucked through portals. [...he laughs almost in disbelief.] You could learn all kinds of stories from people on the app and they all sound pretty ridiculous. But it's all true.
no subject
[Gar holds up a finger.]
It's drugs.
They're pipin' in drugs into our water and this is a government conspiracy to see how far they can mess with us before we get permanently screwed up. Everything you've ever seen is fake.
Joke's on them, I only drink coke.
no subject
You have definitely outsmarted them. But you still shower don't you? Drug vapors are still drugs. [Stop this.]
no subject
[A pause.]
OK, new plan! I'm not gonna show --
[nnoooooooOOOOOOOOO the universe itself rears back in disgust at the thought of a teenaged boy refusing to shower and a sharp gust of wind results in the light crackle of a tree branch that cuts Gar off
He blinks and seems to realize how cold and dark it is for the first time, having been mesmerized by the Flying Man.]
Oh -- geez, I think my parents are gonna notice I'm gone. I've gotta get back...
Hey, thanks a lot, man. Sorry I dragged you out here to play show and tell or whatever.
no subject
Yeah, I should go, too. I told my roommate I'd be back a little bit ago but he'll deal. It's totally fine though, I do not mind in the slightest! If you need anything else or like...whatever, you can always reach me on the network? They have that direct message set-up so it's pretty easy. You good or do you need a ride somewhere?
[#responsibility]

[He grins. He may be congratulating himself on the not very clever nickname.]
This was awesome! It was way better than spending my night on my dumb homework. ...I'll be OK, it's not that far and it will be way more suspicious if a car pulls up in front of my house now.
I'll catch ya later.
