Bad Decisions Have Been Made

[storytelleroftime]

THIS IS A PSA ON BEHALF OF TEAM ABSINTHE! MOSTLY ME THOUGH!

Please do not pull off blood sacrifice.

75% of the time that will fuck you over. Source on that figure: A retrospec employee who literally tripped and got stuck in a chest and we had to rescue. So his info might not be uh, the most accurate thing in the world but still.

But seriously don't. I lost a finger and I got nothing but dark miasma, everyone thinking I was a crazy person, and suffering. And only TWO of those are an ordinary part of my life. Nine fingered typing is infinitely harder than you would think it would be! It's really inconvenient and annoying. Along with, well, missing a pinkie. That's a bad thing.

So I'm putting this up here to make sure no one repeats my mistake, and at least, someone gets something out of this.

Why did you think it was a good idea in the first place?

[storytelleroftime]

...Did you not hear my little ramble? It's because I'm a terrible person! And I wanted to show this relic that I was willing to change that. And in order to change, you have to sacrifice something you already have. And you can't demonstrate mental sacrifice, so I just instead did a physical sacrifice.

Read more philosophy, geez.

[cattack]

I heard it, but it makes no more sense now than it did then!
Do you not think staying around in a monster-infested bunker to help those who have gone missing would qualify?
Why would you jump immediately to permanent disfigurement?!

thus it begins...

Miss Mayvin's life with nine fingers.

[cattack]

I tried to preserve her finger in case it could be reattached, but it seems not.

[storytelleroftime]

Yep. It's a true adventure. And by adventure, I mean inconvenience.

[maskreant]

making a post about this doesn't do you any favors on the crazy department, but i digress.

[ Yeah... let's just move onto better things. ]

i want to say i'm sure no one else will think about cutting their fingers, but

now i don't know. so. good call?

are you doing all right?

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm adjusting decently enough, for the most part.

[maskreant]

that's good.

you did Prof. Izunia a frighten... have you learned your lesson?

[explodosafe]

[Maggie... He still feels responsible for letting her 'lose' her damn finger.]

So everyone thinking that you haven't got all cats in the shelter and dark miasma are the NORMAL parts of your life? Now I'm seriously worried.

[storytelleroftime]

Well the miasma isn't. But people thinking I'm crazy and suffering are. Albeit, nothing to the extent of losing a finger.

[explodosafe]

Ok, hold the line for a sec there.

Do they just THINK that you are suffering or are you feeling bad for real?

[That's important, ok?!]

[vitis]

wow.
only 75% chance? there go my plans for the rest of the day :(



seriously, though. overkill, much?

[storytelleroftime]

It really, really was.

[adoringpast]

Wow.

And I thought I went overboard with the bombs.

[storytelleroftime]

...What bombs?

[fairhands]

[ Where does he even start. ]

Are you alright? The loss of your finger aide.

[storytelleroftime]

Of course I'm fine! Trauma is for losers.

[rebellions]

believe it or not i'm pretty sure most people don't need to be reminded of that

[twelfthspark]

Everyone thinking you're a crazy person? Gee, I can't possibly imagine why.

[storytelleroftime]

I mean, yeah, but I've been crazy for a while now.

[heiroglyphs]

Please don't summon any more monsters here. We're having enough trouble with the legion of zombies and giant scorpions to deal with fucking Cthulhu.

Also did you seriously cut off your own pinkie???

[storytelleroftime]

Hey! I wasn't summoning monsters! I'm not an idiot, and I'm definitely not particularly suicidal.

But yes. Yes I did.

[crudest]

so
initial what the fuck aside

you must be really big on the path less traveled huh

[storytelleroftime]

Oh, I won't deny that.

But really, my reasoning is quite simple, if you understand the full context.
