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.

Oh, so your team sucks at their job too.

[Since nobody offered a better idea or, like, stopped the crazy lady from cutting her finger off.

... actually, now that she thinks about it, Arlene probably would have let her do it too.]

[storytelleroftime]

I mean, I'd give them a bit of credit. They were all pretty concerned when I went through with it. Their freak out was about the only enjoyable thing with all this.

[Well, it definitely hadn't been entertaining in the moment, but even so, if she hadn't been in severe pain she probably could have gotten a good chuckle out of it.]

[twelfthspark]

[That's... fair. And kind of relatable.]

Obviously they didn't have any better plans. They deserved to freak out a little, right? lol

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah. I mean, I just wish I could've done more in the moment. But hey, I was missing a finger, so that can be forgiven.

[twelfthspark]

What more did you expect to do?? And it didn't even work, if I'm following. 👎

[storytelleroftime]

It didn't, because ghost Founders are picky like that.

[twelfthspark]

wtf, did you cut off the wrong finger?

[storytelleroftime]

No, apparently Georgia doesn't like blood sacrifice. These Founders are too picky.

[twelfthspark]

Could have told you that ahead of time.

[Maybe this "Georgia" likes watching people do something monumentally dumb, though? That's understandable enough.]

[storytelleroftime]

...Yeah that would have been helpful.

[twelfthspark]

You know, maybe it's not so bad being left behind here after all.

[She absolutely does not mean that.]

[storytelleroftime]

Eh, it's a matter of perspective.

[twelfthspark]

And my perspective is *outside*. You guys actually got to talk to a Retrospec employee?

Was it Jim?

Did anybody punch Jim?

[storytelleroftime]

...No. Even though we'd like that.

We got to talk to a man named Nigel Cavendish, who might be an idiot, might not. I'm not sure. And Marge, who just sounded really tired.

[twelfthspark]

Sounds like everyone's tired tbh.
