high school martial artist yells at cloud

[momentaryspring]

You all acted like I was delusional for taking a picture of a creepy man in black, but WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY NOW?

Does the disappearance of an entire species from the public consciousness strike you as a bit odd? And I just spent a good thirty minutes stuck inside the most suspicious headquarters building imaginable!

I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so.

a video game character?
Walking around the city at night?
that's. that's not possible

[momentaryspring]

To be sure, walking around the city during the daytime would be equally preposterous.

[strongestheart]

Uh, n- no, nothing like that.

It was... a pillow fight... at a sleepover...

[youraffection]

thats weird
i wonder if its open normally...
r u gonna try to go back?

[momentaryspring]

How very odd. I believe you when you say it wasn't a dream, yet no easy explanation comes to mind.

Was there anything else that stood out to you?

[momentaryspring]

Not without a plan. Besides, I got the police involved and I imagine it's more their jurisdiction.

[ FOR NOW ]

But there better not be any more of this nonsense!

[youraffection]

thats probs for the best
i guess just make sure ur ip is secure n stuff man
maybe theyre tracking u right now

[strongestheart]

In fairness, there's not exactly a good rational explanation for the chickens, either. Or the beads... or even the app...

Sigh.

But, uh. Yeah. I saw ... brightly colored cute little animals floating in the air. Which I realize, kind of makes me sound like I was drunk. (I wasn't.)

[momentaryspring]

What?! Why didn't you lead with that? That's way weirder than the hair colors!

[momentaryspring]

Now that their program is on my phone, I doubt they need my address...

[ we're all doomed ]

[strongestheart]

Uh, feeling it out and seeing how crazy you thought I was...?

[youraffection]

vpn man
download 1

[momentaryspring]

Are you having a seizure?

[momentaryspring]

Hmm. Well, under the circumstances I can't exactly toss aspersions at you.

For the record, though, I myself have not seen any flying animals recently that are not normally capable of flight.

[strongestheart]

Good, good!

...

You know, that makes me wonder: Can chocobos fly. Can they glide. If they can do either, doesn't that change a lot of things beyond just doing the same thing as horses?

[youraffection]

what?
no
dude
r u telling me uve never heard of a vpn?

[momentaryspring]

They seem awfully big to be flying. Ostriches can't fly. They probably just run around and stomp things.

[momentaryspring]

I suppose not.

[youraffection]

ok it stands for virtual private network
u can get a mobile one and basically rotate ur ip address and send data securely and block trackers and stuff
they wont be able to find you

[momentaryspring]

That sounds pretty complicated.

[ aka he didn't even bother to learn how to do emojis, how do you expect him to learn how to use vpns ]

[strongestheart]

Okay, sure, that's probably true.

...BUT WHAT ABOUT HORSESHOES?!

Are there Chocoboshoes?!

DO THINGS LIKE HORSESHOES EVEN EXIST?!

[momentaryspring]

Hmm. They don't have chicken shoes, so I believe chocobo shoes would be out of the question.

Why, are you a champion horseshoe player? If so, you'll likely have to find another profession.

[youraffection]

nah man
just download an app its sup easy

[ Ryoga you need emojis. How do you survive in the world. ]

[strongestheart]

I'm not, but what about the people who ARE? What's become of them??

There's too many questions.

[tokencanadian]

Yeah.
But, then again, we did just collectively remember a species that doesn't exist.
