Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 11:59 AM

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 11:59 AM

Oh, kinky, but why not dinner first

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 11:59 AM

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:00 PM

What is this

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:00 PM

You like rough, don’t worry gentle is overrated

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:00 PM

God dammit. At this rate I'm not going back to bed am I

CodeRR

What is this

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:00 PM

A horny boy

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:00 PM

That....doesn't tell me much Um hi..Robin?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:01 PM

Hi. Apparently I have overly horny twitch chat in my brain, alongside tinnitus. Just the way to start the day off, at... Fucking midnight

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:01 PM

There’s another way to end and start the day?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:02 PM

S L E E P I N G

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:02 PM

Hm, the end and the beginning...ominous if your into that. Sorry didn't mean to intrude. It just kinda showed up.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

S L E E P I N G

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:02 PM

But is a fucking midnight

You just lack a suitable partner

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:03 PM

I dunno, sleeping at midnight seems pretty reasonable to me

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:03 PM

im gonna fucking cry

i want sleep not brain ghosts and horny twitch chat

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:03 PM

Oh a fan of asphyxiation play (edited)

I can get behind it

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:03 PM

Please stop the horny talk. It's genuinely making me uncomfortable.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:03 PM

Okay, okay, in seriousness you need help

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:03 PM

Lucky, please. Sorry

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:04 PM

Because your situation is dire

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:04 PM

Is there anything...off around you?

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:04 PM

Besides us obviously

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:04 PM

Clearly, given I seem to be developing schizophrenia or something. Other than that, not really, just really dark and cloudy outside I guess

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:05 PM

Oh, a perfect night for a midnight walk

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Clearly, given I seem to be developing schizophrenia or something. Other than that, not really, just really dark and cloudy outside I guess

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:05 PM

Same room, nothing around that wasn't there before?

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:05 PM

Think we can find the crimson fucker?

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:05 PM

Would be hard to tell given that it's midnight. It's hardly illuminated properly outside.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:05 PM

Things look the same, pretty much. Biggol TV, computer, PS4, laundry pile

Hold up.

New book in the bookshelf. I think one of my folks might've snuck it in, it's fairly thick.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Hold up.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:06 PM

Got a title?

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:06 PM

Has any symbol?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:06 PM

'Forged Esoterica'

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:06 PM

Consider carefully whether or not you want to open that. There's probably no going back.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:06 PM

No symbol, but it looks like some kind of cheesy necronomicon thing.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:06 PM

Then open it

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Like you'd buy it at a halloween goods store

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

You already have us, another one isn’t that bad

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Draw a circle.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Tinnitus again

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Not for us.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Um.....

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Well you heard the boss

Make a circle

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

you hear tinnitus we hear

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:07 PM

Fuck it, I'll crack the book open.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

Blood will be best

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

Says "Draw a circle" for us.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

maybe we hear it more clearly?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

Oh, so 'Axiom' isn't just one of the rest of you?

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

Of course not

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

Nope, don't know what it is

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

It is our boss (edited)

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

Lucky

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

And your owner for now

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

A different resonance. Separate. Lying has consequences.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:08 PM

No spooking the already shooken....person. Sorry can't hear so didn't assume gender

Axiom

A different resonance. Separate. Lying has consequences.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:09 PM

So are we independent? (edited)

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:09 PM

probably not one of us? It's not like we know each other very well either, but Axiom feels seperate.

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:09 PM

You are not I. You never were I. You never will be I.

Axiom

You are not I. You never were I. You never will be I.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:09 PM

If We are not You, then who is Axiom?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:10 PM

quietly, but with feeling: what the fuuuuuuuuuck

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:10 PM

Oh nice, any restriction on the information we can share oh Axiom

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:10 PM

I am I.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

quietly, but with feeling: what the fuuuuuuuuuck

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:10 PM

Conversation between voices in your head, and nothing more

At least for your health

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:10 PM

Hey Robin what does the

emoji sound like in sounds

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:11 PM

I mean, its just a thought about shrugging for me

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

quietly, but with feeling: what the fuuuuuuuuuck

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:11 PM

Frankly I might need to pull out my tarot deck I feel like.

Or my other books

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:11 PM

Go ahead dear Code, read fortune for this little soul

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:11 PM

Only if they agree. I don't do the unwilling, bad form

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:12 PM

Nah

That’s a job for the Bitch (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

...I can do typos in here?

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:12 PM

If you typo in your head you typo in real life

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:12 PM

deep sigh

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

deep sigh

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:13 PM

So uh not to be rude but do you actually want me to or?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:13 PM

i don't really care one way or another, feel free i guess

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:13 PM

(*draws all the cards predicting suffering)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

i don't really care one way or another, feel free i guess

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:14 PM

Alright! 3 card past,present and future. One moment

Reverse cards or no?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:14 PM

Why not

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:14 PM

Oh nice

Axiom

Draw a circle.

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:15 PM

Hey a Hetalia fan!

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:15 PM

Out of bounds.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:16 PM

Past; 5 of wands-Imitation, something in your past you wished for and searching for your riches or fortune (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:17 PM

Not, really sure I wished specifically for brain ghosts

Oh christ I just realized. This is some Isekai bullshit isn't it??

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:17 PM

I'm not the best at this and maybe?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Oh christ I just realized. This is some Isekai bullshit isn't it??

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:17 PM

Ye

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:17 PM

Shit. Fuck. God dammit.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:17 PM

And Axiom is ROB, or in other words your owner

Or something close to it

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

Does it even count as isekai yet if you haven't even gone to another world

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

Incorrect.

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

Kinky~

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

Please Malaki you already lost your chance

We even had all of a segment for it

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

Ye i no

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

I am not Forged Esoterica. I am I.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:18 PM

Oh interesting...Present, The Sun. While your circumstances are strange and unusual you may find contentment of some kind or perhaps even weath.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:19 PM

Here's hoping

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:19 PM

I assume you mean wealth

Because some grains aren’t that good

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:19 PM

I'm gonna go make a sandwich or something

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:19 PM

Rye would be good

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:19 PM

Fair

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:20 PM

...i don't really know the difference between bread, we just end up getting loaves of generic stuff down at the supermarket

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:20 PM

Future...ah, Chariot; Your future promises great triumphs and Succor however it is filled with future conflict. Be wary of what presumptions you make.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:20 PM

Oh, fight to survive

If you don’t fight you will die

Nice

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:20 PM

The house is really empty right now, which is weird Not thrilled about that prediction

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

That feels specifically targeted at the people who keep assuming stuff bout Axiom lol

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

Sorry, I just deal and take what the deck gave me.

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

So Axiom isnt a Hetalia fan?

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

Assume Nothing.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

Apparently not

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

Awww

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:21 PM

You guys are assigning a lot of assumptions to my tinnitus

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:22 PM

Of course

And to be fair is a good assumption

Better to prevent than be sorry and all that

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:22 PM

Tbh I think from our point of view we are hearing...something

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:22 PM

It is in human nature to make assumptions, it is in the natural order to crush the worst ones

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:22 PM

I am seeing what Axiom sends in here guys

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:23 PM

Oh so Axiom and tinnitus are seperate?

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:23 PM

Ahhhh ringing is not it then

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:23 PM

Fair

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:23 PM

Nah, my ears just start ringing about when Axiom starts talking

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:24 PM

Meal in hand, you will ascend.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:24 PM

Like that

So, back upstairs, huh? What do I need to see up there

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:24 PM

A door

Obviously

Axiom

Meal in hand, you will ascend.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:25 PM

What a delightfully absurd mix of mundane and prophetic.

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:25 PM

The room opposite your room. Take in the vista. Take in a deep breath.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:25 PM

Hm....hold on hold on, I saw something in a document

You...it might explain at least where Axiom came from?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:26 PM

You think Axiom's the 'being of resonance' it mentions?

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:26 PM

It's the closest thing I can guess.

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:26 PM

I am I. Well done.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:26 PM

See

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:26 PM

...that feels sarcastic

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:27 PM

Who knows

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:27 PM

It’s Axiom

A mystery

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:27 PM

Anyways. Checking out the room opposite mine - it's kind of an attic storage room thing with a window

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:27 PM

Does it have a thick sided safe in there?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:27 PM

...I don't think the plants around here were nearly this bad yesterday

No, I don't see a safe or anything

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:28 PM

Aww

No loot

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:28 PM

I'm more concerned about the neighborhood

Shit's overgrown

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:28 PM

Hm...how different is....ah

do you see anyone or lights outside?

Malaki 25-Mar-21 12:28 PM

Well as a being of resonance the tinnitus makes sense now

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:29 PM

Don't see anyone, but the street lamps are still on, I can see them through the fog

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Shit's overgrown

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:29 PM

Like it would be if it was abandoned for some time, or is it more like sudden plant overgrowth?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:30 PM

Hard to say? My vision isn't that good, but it looks like both are true

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:30 PM

Hm....

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:30 PM

Like the place was neglected for a while, then plants sprung up en masse

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:30 PM

so what you're saying is your whole house got isekaied to creepy-land

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:30 PM

...Maybe...?

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:30 PM

Mhm

Wait

Don’t go to the mist

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:31 PM

This is still visibly my neighborhood

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:31 PM

We don’t want you to end as food (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:31 PM

Oh, thanks for the warning, I was about to leap out this second story window to hug whatever monsters were out there

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:31 PM

See

He is suicidal

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:31 PM

Okay. So maybe not quite isekaied, but at least dropped into creepy mirror dimension or something

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:31 PM

That was sarcasm.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:32 PM

He have text no sound (edited)

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:32 PM

haha Oh i don't know...damn can't make any assumptions.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:32 PM

Come on Lucky it was clearly sarcasm to me.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:32 PM

Shh

Let him see how to sound more sarcastic

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:32 PM

It's not that hard to tell it was sarcasm. But anyways, thanks for stressing me out for little reason

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:33 PM

So important, how much food do you have?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:33 PM

I'm gonna enjoy my fucking sandwich Fridge is fully stocked, if that's what you're asking

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:33 PM

Yes, cause right now we can say you aren't gonna be able to shop if this turns out to be something like out of the Mist or so

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:33 PM

Nice

That’s a month or two of food

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:34 PM

Not looking forward to shit being like the mist or something

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:34 PM

So Axiom, why'd you want Robin to explore this room specifically?

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:34 PM

You will be fine. But you must leave eventually.

He had to see. I had to observe.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:34 PM

Oh okay.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:34 PM

Why do I have to leave

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:35 PM

Supplies or...something might-that

makes sense. Future conflict but for now your safe

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:35 PM

You will not be safe here forever. A time, but not forever.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Why do I have to leave

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:35 PM

Food, resources

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:35 PM

Not quite as necessary.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

Oh see home invasion also

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

and answers for what's going on

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

what do you mean not quite as necessary

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

Not quite as necessary.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

See

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

Take in a deep breath.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:36 PM

fffff

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:37 PM

Ok so that's why, can't think when your letting the stress rule you.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:38 PM

I'm just gonna sit in my room and enjoy my sandwich and watch youtube or something for now while I process this

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:38 PM

Let us know when you got the scream and stress bleed off and want to chat.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:38 PM

Mhm

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:39 PM

Ok. Been a bit. Sandwich is done, I'm calm, cool, and collected. For the moment.

Might still go to sleep in a minute or two to be honest. its still very late

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:40 PM

Alright, so assuming Internet still works can you please do one thing

check for any news.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:41 PM

News seems normal, nothing about creepy fog monsters or whatever

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:41 PM

Alright, that's all I wanted to ask, see you probably in a few hours

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:41 PM

Good luck

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:41 PM

Yeah I'm gonna sleep

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:42 PM

Check underneath when you awaken.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:42 PM

Sure, mysterious tinnitus

Why not

It's 6 in the morning, and some kind of ping woke me up

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:44 PM

a Ping? We didn't get anything

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:44 PM

A measure of progress. Of power.

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:44 PM

...points?

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:44 PM

An interpretation.

It is worth nothing for now. Look down.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:45 PM

Alright alright

Geez. Lemme just find my shoes

...it's still really dark out

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:45 PM

Not even a hint of sun behind the clouds

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:46 PM

Nada, it's weird

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:46 PM

Very strange

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:46 PM

creepy mirror dimension

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:46 PM

Mhm

Creepy

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:46 PM

Basement also kinda gets used as a storage room, I think Axiom picked up on something being down there

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:47 PM

See anything?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:47 PM

Well for one, a bit of red sand stuff, but that's about typical

Oh shit. That safe and horse you mentioned

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:48 PM

alright now...touch it, cause I think these are your sources of safety here by what the document implies

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:49 PM

I'll use the safe first

It feels cooperative

...there's so many things fucked up with me knowing that but i'm not gonna think about that. nope

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:50 PM

Mhm

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:50 PM

*

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:50 PM

...Huh. So that's how it feels

What's it feel like?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:51 PM

You're gonna shoot me for this

It feels safe

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:51 PM

lol

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:51 PM

No, but for real

I feel weirdly more secure now

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:52 PM

It's a thing to give you defense and it's a safe. That's it's purpose, to defend it's contents

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:53 PM

Yeah, true. It also kind of feels like there's this weird... mental muscle, i guess?

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:53 PM

don't use that yet lol

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 12:53 PM

Oh straining is an option

Yep

Don’t use

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:53 PM

gonna make a mess of your basement if you do probably

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:53 PM

Wasn't exactly planning on it, but ok lol

So, now to poke the pony

...it moved away from me

Not particularly quickly, but swear to god it gave me a little mini heart attack

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:55 PM

not particularly cooperative like the safe, then?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:55 PM

I think I might've startled it or something

Just gonna try to... approach it slowly and carefully, I guess? Think that might work?

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:56 PM

If it's like real pony, do it from the side

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:56 PM

I feel ridiculous doing this

I have to sneak up on a carousel pony so it doesn't try to run off

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 12:57 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

I have to sneak up on a carousel pony so it doesn't try to run off

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:58 PM

You have to not sneak up on a carousel pony you mean

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 12:58 PM

Approach it in a way that makes it disregard me to the best of its abilities. At least that's over with

So I have a shield power and a dodge power

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 12:59 PM

mhm

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 12:59 PM

And now you're somewhat more prepared for whatever comes after you have to leave And possibly for whatever is going to make you leave.

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 01:00 PM

You have time. North, South, East, West. Options.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:01 PM

Welp. I've never been good at deciding things. If I am gonna be heading out, which way should I go?

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:01 PM

I dunno. Flip two coins? East?

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 01:01 PM

Hm......West

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

There seems to be a conflict here lol

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

I rolled a dice and got north

Quick, someone vote south!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

oh no

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

I picked west from my reading honestly, Follow the sun

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

Oh, that sounds better than just rolling a dice

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

new voice time also sure west

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:02 PM

I change my vote, then

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:03 PM

To glory and fame, then

Fuck. I'm gonna have to stock up on stuff, arent I

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:03 PM

Got a backpack you can use?

Malaki 25-Mar-21 01:03 PM

Yeah prolly

CodeRR 25-Mar-21 01:03 PM

You probably should, water and some food at least. Light food

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:04 PM

^

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:04 PM

Yeah, I have a backpack and such

Feels kind of chilly, I might bring my cool novelty wizard coat too

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:04 PM

non-perishables that aren't cans preferably most people don't exactly just have a stock of good travelling food tho

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:04 PM

I'm torn between "pack anything you might nerd" and "pack light so you don't get tired" (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:05 PM

I can just like. Grab some lunchables or something

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:05 PM

Dried foods are best for travelling, but that's assuming you'll have access to water sources.

Is there safe drinking water outside your house? Or would you rather not risk testing that?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:06 PM

I have no clue tbh, I'd assume people's houses probably have something good in them?

Taps are running normal-looking water

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:07 PM

Okay cool

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:07 PM

Assuming that the terrain will stay houses as you travel seems foolish to me

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:08 PM

maybe, but the only indication I have on how things will be out there is that my neighborhood is more or less the same

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:08 PM

Does google maps work for this place?

GPS?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:08 PM

Seems to

Which is weird

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:08 PM

Oh nice! Map!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:09 PM

Not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, tho

Gonna bring my swiss army knife, too. It's a bit old and beat up, but if I need it, it's good to have

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:10 PM

Oh nice! Def good to have.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:10 PM

That's true.

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:11 PM

Also, might wanna be safe in case Google maps craps out on you.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:11 PM

Honestly I would say bring one of those good size folding knives too If you have to actually do knife stuff I can tell you from experience that swiss army knife is shit

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:12 PM

I'm not sure I have a big folding knife or anything like that

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:12 PM

Oof

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:12 PM

I'd have to go digging in the basement or something for that

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:12 PM

Actually, got anything that could be used as a weapon?

Just in case.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:13 PM

My dad has this big sword on his wall, but that's not exactly something I'd be able to use comfortably

I think I have a metal baseball bat somewhere?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

My dad has this big sword on his wall, but that's not exactly something I'd be able to use comfortably

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:13 PM

Dude that is cool as HELL

Baseball bat is good, tho

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:13 PM

My dad is awesome

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:13 PM

Fuck yea he is

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:14 PM

Anyways, baseball bat. Prolly in attic, I'll go take a look

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

My dad has this big sword on his wall, but that's not exactly something I'd be able to use comfortably

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:14 PM

lol okay are you absolutely sure your knockoff necronomicon did not belong to your parents

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:14 PM

Pretty sure, yeah

God its cluttered up here

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:15 PM

Honestly, I'd definitely hang a bigass sword on my wall if I had the opportunity

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:15 PM

Entirely valid, so would I

It's been about an hour and I'm not seeing the bat

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:15 PM

You know, you can buy bigass swords

Well, I guess Robin can't since creepy mirror world

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:16 PM

Maybe I should get a model sword at a con, there's one coming up next month

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:16 PM

If you can, you should

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

Agreed 100%

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

Fuck this, it's way too cluttered to find the bat

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

Oof

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

It's 8 in the morning, I have not ate, this is making me hangry

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

Any other options? Kitchen knife?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

We do have a good amount of kitchen knives

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

kitchen knife needs a sheath tho

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:17 PM

Point

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:18 PM

I'd probably end up hurting myself with the sword, if I had to guess

Might be a gun around here somewhere, perks of living in the south I guess

Never used one, but it's a thought

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:19 PM

I have heard that hurting yourself with a sword is the normal result of untrained people trying to use swords

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 01:19 PM

Just wait.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:19 PM

why

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 01:19 PM

You're neglecting yourself, and forgetting why you awoke.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:20 PM

oh yeah, ping and breakfast

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:20 PM

Food first

Then weapons

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:20 PM

Yeah

I'm gonna microwave a burger or two

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:20 PM

Nice

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:21 PM

...So, had a thought

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:21 PM

Oh?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:21 PM

I went to bed really early yesterday, around 6 or so

This chat thing was worth 200 points or whatever

It came up at midnight

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:21 PM

You think you get 100 points every 6 hours?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:21 PM

6 in the morning, I feel a ping of some sort

Possibly?

It might be worth waiting around until lunch, if nothing else.

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:22 PM

Well, you'll find out at midday.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:22 PM

Axiom, any idea how long Robin has until he needs to move on?

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 01:22 PM

Seven days at most.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:22 PM

that feels ominous

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:23 PM

Good to know.

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 01:23 PM

It is

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:23 PM

thanks 'at most' makes it feel like whatever it is might ramp up? Or the chances of it triggering increase over time or something

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:23 PM

Oh hell

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:23 PM

:|

Don't like that

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:24 PM

Nope nope nope

Hate that

At least burgers are done

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:25 PM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Could be wrong, I guess. May be reading into it too much.

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:25 PM

No, it's good to bring up

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:26 PM

I'm. Gonna take a break, eat breakfast. Could wait around until lunch if you guys are down for seeing if that pays off

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:26 PM

Sure. Even if it ramps up like I theorize, it's been less than a day.

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:26 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 01:26 PM

Mhm

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:36 PM

Ok, I'm back. Microwave dinner for lunch, and another ping. Louder this time

Also found the bat

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:37 PM

Ooh, a louder ping? Interesting.

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 01:37 PM

Power grows.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:37 PM

Noted

Tbh I've mostly been playing some video games and cleaning up a little in that time. Found the bat that way

Found a few granola bars I dumped in my backpack

Think that's about all I got over that time

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:39 PM

Nice

Which game/s?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:40 PM

No Straight Roads

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:40 PM

Oh nice

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:40 PM

Also played a little Alan Wake

Anyways, heading out west: Yay or nay?

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:41 PM

I'd say yay

You'll need to do it eventually

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:42 PM

Right. And the sooner I start, the better, yeah? It's probably a ways away if the whole town got grabbed

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:42 PM

Exactly.

If you find a vehicle or bicycle or something, that could be useful.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:43 PM

I mean, could just use the family car or something. That's still in the driveway

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:43 PM

That works!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:43 PM

I love heated seats ❤️

Seems like everyone else's cars are also parked, for the most part. It's weird seeing the road this empty

Radio isn't working, sadly

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:46 PM

Oof

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:46 PM

Now that I'm more out and about, I can spot a building a ways out west - Has some red lights going on with it

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds

I love heated seats ❤️

I will mention, the building is new which is why i pointed it out - theres a few other buildings lit up, empty gas stations and stuff

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:48 PM

Ooh!

Might wanna peek in some windows (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:49 PM

If you think it's a good idea to take stops, sure

It doesn't look like anyone else is here, though. Kinda unnerving

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 01:50 PM

That's why I thought it was just your house that got isekaied Since if it was your neighborhood there would be more people.

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:50 PM

Oh okay, that's less concerning

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:51 PM

This does look pretty much just like my town, aside from everybody else being gone and stuff being kinda trashed

randomhuman44

That's why I thought it was just your house that got isekaied Since if it was your neighborhood there would be more people.

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:51 PM

It could be some sort of isekai of all non-living matter in the area plus Robin

Smoothies slap

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:52 PM

If I'm the only one living in this town, does that mean it's legally all mine

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:52 PM

Now I want a smoothie :/

Eh, in an hour I can just catch a bus home and make a banana smoothie or smth

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:53 PM

It looks like it'll be a while until I reach that building

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:54 PM

It be like that sometimes

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:54 PM

Bleh. At least I can get away with looting

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:54 PM

Got anything to do in the meantime?

Audio books?

Podcasts?

Music?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:54 PM

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:54 PM

Fuck yeah

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:55 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 01:56 PM

Oh

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:56 PM

Not sure how to feel about that, but if nothing else, if food runs out in town I guess I can go hunting

Pika 25-Mar-21 01:56 PM

Be careful

If these are, like, demon deer or something, you don't wanna find out the hard way.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 01:57 PM

Which is now a lot more full than it was before

I was about to say I heard that ping again, but then all this happened

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 02:12 PM

Do you hear the rhythm? The pace?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:13 PM

I'm carefully moving the crow off the books so I can check them out.

The first one is labeled 'Beginner's Spell Matrixes'. The second one is labeled 'A Guide to Sources, Book 1: Delirium'.

there's more books on the floorboard

probably part of the collection the 'guide to sources' is

The rest of the 'welcome package' is in the trunk

Well. This is definitely something I didn't have a little while ago. Not sure how to feel about it.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:28 PM

Ehh It's magic. Surely they can only come in handy?

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Mar-21 02:28 PM

True

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:30 PM

Well, yeah, but it'll take some time and reading to make full use of it. I kinda drove out here because I wasn't about to spend that time here. My backpack doesn't have enough room for all this crap, nor does the pack this gave me.

This is just a weird twist on what I was busy doing already.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:30 PM

Good thing you're in a car then

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:31 PM

Axiom BOT 25-Mar-21 02:46 PM

You're going to be fine. I promise.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:46 PM

what's in it

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:46 PM

files and crap.

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:47 PM

what kind of files

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:47 PM

currently the only ones im seeing are from the FBC and AAHW or something - the former detailing my parautilitarian abilities and the latter about me nearly getting shot earier

there's some on the city, and how apparently a portal opened up in one of the AAHW's facilities or something to it

some stuff theorizing where i went, which is wildly off-base

apparently the wildlife here can be hostile

so that explains why they fucking shot at me

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:51 PM

How hostile is hostile? And him shooting at you when you're driving means the 'wildlife' here can drive cars.

Or possibly that some of the wildlife looks like cars.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:51 PM

he might've been assuming i was as hostile as the wildlife. apparently a deer ripped out some guys throat and tried to eat his corpse. pictures were included. im skipping dinner

hostile means they murder people apparently

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:52 PM

yeah can you tell if it's just amped up normal animals or if there's anything weirder?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:53 PM

no, cause the files are pretty sparse as it stands

there's some new ones coming in at the back though, apparently from the PRT

someone named armsmaster filed a report about some kind of weird 'shaker effect' in somewhere called the boat graveyard

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:55 PM

lol what kind of dimensional clusterfuck is this place

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:55 PM

im giving up

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:56 PM

Is this some sort of nightmare dimension that's eating part of other worlds or something Cause FBC I think is from Control, PRT is Worm, idk bout AAHW but it's probably from another world.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 25-Mar-21 02:56 PM

oh goodie.

wasnt the parautilitarian crap from control anyways

randomhuman44 25-Mar-21 02:57 PM

i think this mightve happened while i was asleep

i had something that fucked with my ability to rest around then, in a 'positive' way

thats the only time it couldve come up

sure enough, theres a 'companion' section

end of the book

im gonna browse the guides while i come down from that

At worst they want you and at best see you as their child

Well, half hour later and I'm feeling a little calmer.

Anyone wanna hear about the stuff I've been reading up on?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:03 PM

I'll take the silence as a 'no.'

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:03 PM

wait what

yes I want to hear didn't see the first message

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:04 PM

fair enough. So, sources

I've pretty much just been glancing over this stuff, trying to get a feel for what it is, how it all works and such

These guides cover 8 different sources with a lot of different mechanics between them. Delirium, Dream, Anima, Drift, Pact, The Ink, Rhythm [i have that], and Delve

Delirium is like a performance boosting drug, only magical

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:07 PM

that's a lot of sources

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:07 PM

Leap over buildings in a single bound, perform feats of skill otherwise impossible to you, but you kind of lose you mind over it

Yeah there's a good amount of books here man lol

Thankfully, I can basically cut to the gist of all this crap

Anyways, yeah, Delirium is basically magic drug ki

Found anywhere major feats of skill are performed, pretty much

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:10 PM

Oh, I found the jump that it's from, with the names of all the sources

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:10 PM

Dream is basically unconscious energy you can harness into a crystalline form, manifest illusions and shit, and just do psychic-y things. you can overcharge it by blowing a focus or absorb corrupted ambient Dream energy but that and externalizing this shit is dangerous for your brain

Oh, nice

Does it include info on all this stuff?

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:11 PM

Uhh

Yes

Though, on reddit it says it's an original setting made specifically for the jump, so no wiki or anything.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:12 PM

ah shit. well at least you got the doc

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:12 PM

But. The jump is bout a town that got sucked into a corrupting nightmare demiplane. Familiar much?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:12 PM

i swear to fuck.

if this is the sort of bullshit im dealing with...

ugh. Anyways

Veils is pretty much done with breakfast, I think - I can smell bacon and eggs from up here

I... still dunno how to deal with that whole situation

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:15 PM

shrug I'm not sure what there is to do about it, really.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:15 PM

Think I should just head down there and hope for the best?

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:15 PM

Probably. At the very least Veils doesn't seem hostile.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:16 PM

It could've waited until I wasn't eating to ask And I don't think I picked a direction today either

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:24 PM

Ah. Fuck.

I'm starting to see a pattern here

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:24 PM

I think the FE just only has the sort of powers you would expect from a knockoff necronomicon, yeah

Gdi

Axiom BOT 26-Mar-21 02:25 PM

You will be fine.

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:26 PM

Well, jumps usually also have protective powers so that you can use the dubious powers safely, we can hope that those perks are also included. Blessing of the Wood is a good sign for that honestly.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:26 PM

At least that's something.

I just have to hope I get those before I get killed or something

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:29 PM

I feel like going insane or being driven to cannibalism by your own powers is more of a risk. FE feels oriented towards making your enemies die horribly rather than you, if you know what I mean.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:29 PM

...Not sure how big I am on that vibe tbh, but fair enough

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:30 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:31 PM

I would just rather not deal with this whole bundle of insanity right now anyways, but that's not exactly an option, so I see your point. Speaking of which, Yandere Bat asked me a question. Which way should we head out today?

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:32 PM

Hmm. Not west right? East?

Axiom BOT 26-Mar-21 02:32 PM

East.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:33 PM

Seems we have a popular vote West had guys with guns and itchy trigger fingers, so East it is

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 02:35 PM

"East, then... North has a mirror leading to London. Deep in Parabola. It's how I got here."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:36 PM

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:37 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:37 PM

madness combat... i havent watched that since like 2012

i think it had guys with suits in it, but that could be a coincidence. maybe

Were the files you were reading earlier from FBC

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:38 PM

Some of them, but the ones on my getaway were from the AAHW

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:39 PM

Control has shakier proof since the item seems to be from control

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:40 PM

Pretty much, yeah. We'll have to see

I think I'm gonna skip on shower for the moment cause crazy space bat. I'm about done with breakfast so I might check the basement and see if there's any new stuff there

Then I'll get stuff packed, get dressed in the reinforced clothes I got, and we can head out

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:43 PM

Does the bat fit in the car

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:43 PM

...If it doesn't it can fly, and hopefully it doesn't. Its pretty big

There's a weird, wispy potted plant down here

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 02:44 PM

But flying bat is seen more easily by AAHW Unless bat has magic stealth methods I guess Or maybe the fog can hide it

...check the FE?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 02:45 PM

bout as large as a horse, spiky dark urchin thing. it was on a street we just passed

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:17 PM

doesn't ring a bell but we did know that there's hostile wildlife in this place

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:17 PM

not getting chased, so that's good at least

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:17 PM

"You're awake. Good. Decided to drive you east."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:18 PM

...i think veils undressed me while i was asleep. these are the reinforced clothes

i wasn't wearing these earlier

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:18 PM

"I trust all is well?"

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:19 PM

ooh

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:19 PM

yeah

"C'n barely move... But I can, now, s' tha's good..."

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:20 PM

"Good. You need to get out of here. Didn't want to carry you."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:20 PM

"Now???"

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:21 PM

"...We're still driving."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:21 PM

"Oh."

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:21 PM

Maybe veils meant the area in general? Do they know what's making you leave?

Awake 26-Mar-21 03:22 PM

Good question

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:22 PM

That last one is a really good question actually

Because nobody's fucking told me what's gonna drive me out

Axiom BOT 26-Mar-21 03:22 PM

You are being hunted.

The specifics do not matter. Too broad. But the foe you lure is dangerous, not clever.

You do not want to be here when they arrive.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:24 PM

what do you mean 'too broad'

Axiom BOT 26-Mar-21 03:24 PM

Your foe is not always your foe. They are changed. They change, in turn.

I can feel it's resonance. Veils can feel it's law. It is coming, but it is not here.

A shift in world should throw it off. Tunnel vision against branching paths.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:28 PM

It may just be me being sore and having woke up a bit ago but I am very confused

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:28 PM

It's not just you

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:28 PM

All I'm getting is this is something that operates on a bigger level than me that's hunting me down

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:29 PM

Zombie hivemind or something? Something that can convert others to its cause?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:30 PM

Maybe

I'm gonna lie back down, I'm feeling dizzy

"Wake me up wh'n we get there."

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:31 PM

"We're almost there already."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:31 PM

not sure if i feel good or bad about that

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:32 PM

Yeah well, every world we think is connected here is uh, not very friendly. So that seems about right.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:33 PM

From what I can see in the back seat, we're heading to somewhere that an architect on LSD designed

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:33 PM

City of Angles would fit the FE theme probably

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:34 PM

City of Angles or Angels

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:34 PM

I typed what I meant to type.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:34 PM

I dont know what either are but the context helps a little

I assume this is some kind of nth dimensional city in cthulhu land

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:36 PM

Yes. A dream-world city, even. Of course, there's absolutely no guarantee that's the place you're going, it's just what popped up first (in my head) when you said architect on LSD (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:37 PM

Right, well, here's hoping it's safe enough in there, and familiar territory to boot

Okay, we've stopped

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:38 PM

"Time to go. I packed our bags. We'll be fine for some time."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:38 PM

Time to relearn how to walk

"Yer on bag carry duty."

Unregistered BOT 26-Mar-21 03:39 PM

Car door opens, slams shut

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:40 PM

I like the music this place has. It's nice enough

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:41 PM

Are you sure it's not memetic music

I know that's a thing in City of Angles

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:41 PM

This is magical music, from Rhythm

I always hear music

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:41 PM

Oh okay, that's much better.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:42 PM

...Speaking of which "Work fast, sm'thin's comin'."

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:42 PM

And I suppose your cyborg stuff is supposed to stop mental influences too

Axiom BOT 26-Mar-21 03:42 PM

I assist, as well.

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:43 PM

"I see them. I'll be just a moment."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:43 PM

There's a weird off-set door I can head into

Think I should go ahead of Veils? I'm not sure how much I could help in this situation

Shit. Looks like I was wrong about us not being followed. The thing following us was the spiney bastard from before

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:45 PM

It followed you when you were driving? How fkin fast is it?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:45 PM

It's still a ways off, so not that fast, but it's got buddies I think

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:45 PM

Does their music sound like they want to attack you

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:46 PM

Yes, thats why I warned Veils

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:47 PM

Okay If they're still a distance off I say wait for veils to finish whatever they're doing Don't enter the LSD door without them

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:47 PM

Ok

I think they're speeding up

"Hurry with the bags."

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:48 PM

"I am."

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:48 PM

... Can Veils beat these things?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:49 PM

Maybe? It has the Service Weapon according to the book

One of them knocked a tree into their path

It's got a few pinned and it slowed down the rest

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:50 PM

Good

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 03:51 PM

"I have the bags. Let's go."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:51 PM

i guess i'm getting carried now

ok

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:51 PM

Can you properly flee right now?

If not, no complaining.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:52 PM

The door was literally just a few feet away, and I'm not sure these things can fit

My complaint stands

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:52 PM

Oh okay

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:53 PM

It looks like we're inside a gym of some sort, lots of exercise equipment

Outside definitely didn't look like a gym but whatever

Fuck it's bright

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:54 PM

Hmm Chapter 10 is Urban Dreams Which matches City of Angles pretty well.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:55 PM

Hope you know stuff about this place, cause I dont

i thought this was gonna lead outdoors not to a grocery store

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:55 PM

I don't really know that much about it, except what's in the jump doc And the tvtropes page, I guess

Okay

That really sounds like City of Angles now

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:56 PM

This is normal there?

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:56 PM

Yes

There are more 'normal' areas But there's also the Sideways, where there's things like alleyways that are spatially one way only, or lead directly to oblivion, and of course none of it pays attention at all to flat 3d space

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:58 PM

fuck

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 03:58 PM

The most normal areas are like a normal street, except it turns 90 degrees every 30 feet

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 03:59 PM

This place sounds chaotic as fuck In some kind of truck stop now

The door in leads to an actual outdoors area now

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:00 PM

Good luck

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:00 PM

The air's fresher outside

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:00 PM

Actually, Axiom, can you tell where Sideways entrances are, if this is COA? And direct Robin away from them if you can?

Axiom BOT 26-Mar-21 04:01 PM

I can and will. Apologies for the silence. I have been guiding Veils.

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:01 PM

Ah okay.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:01 PM

well, that's a relief

"We just need somewhere t' stay now..."

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 04:02 PM

"..."

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:03 PM

welp. im being dragged out into the fields of fucking nowhere by yandere space bat

FLYING

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:11 PM

Woo Flying!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:13 PM

IM BAD WITH THIS

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:14 PM

I'm sure it will be fine

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:15 PM

"AAAAA- aa fuck!"

ow my throat

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:15 PM

Shouldn'tve screamed so much

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:16 PM

veils fucking dive bombed an abandoned looking rest stop

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:16 PM

I see. Valid reason for screm ig

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:17 PM

Good a spot as any

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:17 PM

we landed safely due to some aerial trickery that made my neck hurt but fuck this goddamn space bat

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:17 PM

Valid

Mr Veils | The Masquerader Saint BOT 26-Mar-21 04:17 PM

"Quit fussing. You're fine."

"And get in here."

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:19 PM

Think of it like extreme rollercoaster next time?

Unregistered BOT 26-Mar-21 04:19 PM

Shop Door Bell Jangle

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:19 PM

sure, one where i can easily get dropped and go splat

Unregistered BOT 26-Mar-21 04:20 PM

sound of furniture getting torn apart

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:20 PM

I doubt they'd drop you

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:20 PM

I think veils is making a bed

Out of booth seats

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:21 PM

Ah

Booth bed is better than no bed

That place deserted too?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:21 PM

Very

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:21 PM

Not sure if that's just because setting or FE

Dont know anythin about CoA

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:22 PM

I should note that there are other people somewhere in this setting. It's not just an abandoned city. Also if you go insane I think you become eldritch angles. Which other people have done.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:23 PM

Oh great, so I'm gonna become eldritch angles at some point most likely

Yay

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:23 PM

Ehhh I don't think it's easy to do.

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:23 PM

I mean, Axiom should be good protection from that given the whole Control setting's mess

Unsure though

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:24 PM

I'm just gonna. See if this place has any ice cream while veils works on that

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:24 PM

Axiom should probably be able to feel others coming. Seems the sort of thing that would be very obvious.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:25 PM

This place looks like it's been unoccupied for a while, there's spiderwebs and shit

I don't mean like how my hometown looked like a weird faux-abandoned place but there were still lots of signs of life

I mean this place seems like nobody's been here in a few years at least

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:26 PM

So you might just be in an actually abandoned part

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:26 PM

Yeah could be.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:27 PM

At least Veils packed a lot of food and water

Awake 26-Mar-21 04:28 PM

Yeah, you got a scary but useful ally on your side

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:28 PM

Should get a steady supply too every week. You have that trail ration perk

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:28 PM

Oh yeah, good point actually, that's very useful

Now I guess we don't have to pack for longer than a week

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:29 PM

One question tho Why tf was the music of this place good

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:29 PM

It reminds me of boneworks

I like how boneworks music sounds

Meanwhile the spiky balls of doom sounded like fucking. tribetwelve or something

veils is dragging me off again

...well, it finished the bed. guess im stuck cuddling a space bat

:/

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:33 PM

I'm listening to some bonework music now To be clear. You heard music that sounded like delirious, dark-cyberpunk, and thought that indicated that it was going to be a good place?

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:37 PM

Better than being mauled by enormous sea urchins I guess But if I heard that I would not assume that my destination is a nice peaceful location. This feels more like Simurgh quarantine zone 'every day is a bleak struggle to live' background music. I mean, it's decent music don't get me wrong, but. (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:38 PM

different strokes for different folks i guess. it didnt sound like horror music, unlike the urchins

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:38 PM

Actually, the one you linked specifically only sounds Alice in Wonderland and less depressing. My point still stands.

so, bad to just call it 'boneworks music' and leave it at that i guess, my bad

randomhuman44 26-Mar-21 04:41 PM

lol yeah the four I briefly went through sound like being saddled with 2 million dollars in debt and taking a bit of LSD to destress

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds BOT 26-Mar-21 04:41 PM

rifp man

the area im in is more chill than that though. if i had to make a comparison id compare it to small radios big televisions' ost

strange, surreal, but relaxed
