im just feeling real nostalgic and shit
no subject
kinda tough to feel nostalgic about a place that won't stop throwing shit at me but hey
can i ask what brought on this nostalgia trip
no subject
like
all the stuff before ryslig?
[she knows u fucking her brother juno. its cool]
no subject
uhhh a little
the starblaster, the gang, etc etc
if im being honest i was extremely hammered and dont remember much
no subject
do it coward]
thats fair
[ah such simpler times]
the tldr is that weve been on the run the last 100 years
by this planar system voring entity
been trapped in these cycles
we land on a new planet
the Light crash lands next
then we have a full year to find it and gtfo before the whole planet is gobbled up
rinse and repeat
100 times
its always the same
no subject
oh
that's what the big glowing sphere thing you were asking about a few months ago, wasn't it?
[There's a brief pause.]
how can you be sure that it landed here if you haven't actually seen it? or if whatever's eating up the planets can push through the fog?
no subject
cuz it always does
[maybe not the most definite of proof but it's what she believes]
weve had other cycles where he never found the light
where it fell on the opposite side of the planet
where it fell into the sea
or into the deepest forest
or the bottom of a damn crater
but theres been plenty of other cycles we never found it
those are the planets that dont make it
no subject
by what?]
i'm sorry, but you're going to give me more evidence besides "it always does", because i've used that justification for a bunch of shit i probably shouldn't have and ended up screwing myself over
then again most of them weren't regarding world-ending consequences
if the world ends and you're right then you'll get to be smug about it, i guess. it's not like i have anything left waiting for me back at home and i sure as hell don't have anything waiting for me here. and it'll be taking the stupid gods with it
wait
who's "he"
no subject
[insert dramatic pause]
hes the force doing all the voring
hes here in ryslig
monsterfied and everything
his real names john but
theres no humanity in that guy
all he wants is to become all powerful and gobble down the whole universe
no subject
so he's become a monster
doesn't that usually mean you lose you abilities when you come here??
wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't be able to consume this universe?
no subject
he said he split off from the rest of the fucking thing he made
it took on its own consciousness
kicked the original creator out and lost whatever last tie it had to humanity left
so yeah
johns kicking it here w us in monster town
but the hunger is still out there
and if he could get it
why couldnt it?
no subject
[that's. all he sends for a while. he kind of has to stew in his own thoughts for a moment or two. on the one hand, he doesn't believe--doesn't want to believe this is real. and, hell, all evidence points to the contrary, but...lup wouldn't message him without a good reason, nor would she tell him this (or get this real) unless she was really concerned.]
i guess there's no sense in worrying about it if it is going to happen and we're going to suffer an inky black death like how a bunch of old crones used to wax philosophy about, huh?
when will this thing drop anyways
no subject
[not that he has any choice. not that she has any choice. maybe it was more selfish of her to even bring it up. wouldn't it be kinder to let the world go without all of the panic building up before?
but that just doesn't seem fair. the people she cares about have a right to know]
the first
it all pops off on the first
no subject
okay like
just making sure and i'm sure you're being 100% serious
but
this isn't some elaborate april fools joke is it
no subject
oh.
it's such a little thing, this tiny detail that had completely escaped the naga, this little joke dangling over her head. april first, huh. is that the bit, universe? after nearly a hundred years living on the run and fighting for the survival of millions, is this what it all boils down to? a joke?
Lup can't really help herself. Unseen on the other end, she laughs, high-pitched and loud and just a little manic, barely able to contain herself. She's just drunk and sad enough that her laughter feels like too much when her skinny shoulders shake. so it takes her just a little bit longer than normal to respond]
nah fam
funny as that mass panic would be
this is the real deal
no subject
does taako know?
i mean, i'd assume he does
no subject
course koko does
just
its complicated
he doesnt think its happening
no subject
what do you mean he doesn't think it's happening
he knows just as much as you do, doesn't he???
no subject
but hes from a different time than me
couple years ahead
from after were out of the cycles and everything
he thinks its all done but bar and i are still from there
no subject
extremely confusing
but the same thing happened when my secretary showed up here
i don't know
trying to work out all this dimensional shit and time travel shit makes my head spin and i don't really want to spend more than five minutes thinking about it
no subject
it
it just really sucks
