It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

Oh yay! I'm glad someone recognized that one!

But down that hallway you go. It's a long and winding maze, twisting and turning until you reach a fork in the road: will you go left or right?

my mom's field is zoology. it's a built-in cheat
i choose left. it gets a bad rap

If it's knowledge you have anyway, I'm not sure it's cheating.

But left is a good path! Or at least, it might be, the labyrinth leads into a zig-zagging pathway, but it's easy to walk. But now, you find yourself before two drinks. One of them is blue and one is green. Or you can just keep going

is there anything that stands out about them other than the color? a name, description, surgeon general's warning?

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-07-03 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Alas, the dungeon quest isn't going to reveal too much about the surgeon general...

But the blue one is a flat drink, and the green one is fizzing a bit. Both of them don't have much smell to them!

Boldly done!

It takes like... juice! A very slight juice? But it doesn't have an immediate feeling

"slight juice" is just vague enough to weird me out
what flavor profile? is it a traditional blue raspberry or a more exotic, imaginary fruit?
nachetanya: (Heart of the Swarm)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-07-05 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Good call!

It's a blueberry flavor, but it's actually more like the fake blueberry flavor they use for icees or things like that! An unnatural fruity flavor.

i'll pocket the remainder if i can
what's next?

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-07-08 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Blue drink bottle has been added to your inventory!

But you're right, there is more. Namely, that now having drunken the blue drink, you can see a blue light from the ceiling! And up there, there's some words written, but they are a little blurry!

On the roof is . . . !

Well, there's actually a question up there!

"Where would you like to go on vacation?"
seeker: (23.)

[personal profile] seeker 2018-07-09 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
