Wren Mercullis
@tintypeHoundini
Hello I am so lost and scared I think I'm on an alien planet?!?! ((OOC: If you'd like your character to be a cause of one of Wren's deaths/bad ends, feel free to message!))
((OOC Info: Wren (they/she) is a human who got teleported to Alternia and is now Stuck. Important: I am not looking for them to get rescued from Alternia -- I'm playing this like a horror/adventure survival thing. DMs are open both IC and OOC! For the record, people are welcome to have their characters kill Wren or otherwise cause their death! It won't stick, though. Your Name is WREN MERCULLIS. You are 25 years old and come from a planet called EARTH. You are very certain that you ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. Help. Luckily, you had a survival kit with you when you were RUDELY TELEPORTED without warning, and so WON'T DIE IMMEDIATELY. Probably. You don't know this yet, but in the event that you DO DIE, your TIMELINE will REWIND, and you will WAKE UP before point of NO RETURN. As if from a NIGHTMARE. INVENTORY: Torch/Flashlight Matches Medical Kit Knife Swiss Army Knife Food Rations Water Bottle (1 litre) String Hairband Binoculars Comb Travel Toothbrush and Paste Spare Socks Death Count: 1))
Intimidating people keep following me. Please stop.°❀.࿔
So. Hypothetically, how could someone fix a scuttlebuggy in a swampy forest with no tools or experience? Explain it like the person is 5. Urgent question.°❀.࿔
౿ᓕ ̤Ꜥ·⦣ I meant like if you're one of them humans on alternia ya need all the help ya can get
((want this to just be handled? she can be over and get the car fixed up unless you want it to be a scene))
((the suffering sufferer... Then yeah Delphi just gets there and it's fucked beyond repair))
౿ᓕ ̤Ꜥ·⦣ Girl you done fucked this thang beyond anythin I've seen. Sorry. Just uhhh. If ya ever need to play hitchhiker gimme a call I'll drive ya for a bit.
It feels like something is watching me. If that's you, stop doing that.°❀.࿔
I... might need to go back into the city again. I only have one or two meals left, and that's WITH rationing my food. Oh no.°❀.࿔
Y'know...I Migh𖧧 Be Able 𖧧o Ge𖧧 Some𖧧hing 𖧧o A Drop Poin𖧧 For You. Assuming You'd Ra𖧧her No𖧧 Mee𖧧 Wi𖧧h Anyone Face 𖧧o Face If You Can Help I𖧧

Alrigh𖧧. 𖧧ha𖧧's As Good A Basis As Any, I Guess. I'll See Wha𖧧 I Can Scrounge Up
My ankle doesn't hurt too much now, so I'm gonna try to get to the house/hive/place I was offered a place to stay. Luckily, I have a scuttlebuggy.°❀.࿔

What’s the matter, don’t love cotton candy and radical lime staring down at you? (This is a joke, I know what Earth’s moon is like)
Yeah it would, I’m basically Fake Troll American even though I’m not a troll, I’d be Californian if I were a human. This version of Silicon Valley is ALSO full of annoying tech bros! Don’t miss it.
I am so incredibly done with this stupid planet!°❀.࿔
okay well you arwe on my planet firwst of all so like if anything it is you who should be the one going away and that can be done eitherw physically orw well metaphorwically but also i guess it counts as physically as in dying to go away forweverw
okay but you still can make a choice now rwight so you know doy
=oXO it,s a mountain, they,re giant ants¡ think of it more like ummm a cave system =:) but i understand if you don,t want to stay in the caves¡ it,s good shelter when the weather is this bad''' hmmm you are pretty far away awawa''' if you,re in a scuttlebuggy it wouldn,t be too hard to get nearby at least and i could come out and guide you the rest of the way'''¿ =oXO
okay come on you can t just give out like imporwtant inforwmation like that that narwrwows down the searwch to the prwoximity of a single city you don t even know what you arwe doing but you haven t even died yet the drwones can not be that incompetent ughhhhhhhhhhh it just neverw ends
=oXO yes yes¡¡ okay i will dm you some coordinates, if you can reach there before sunrise i can guide you the rest of the way on foot¡ we can hide the scuttlebuggy so nobody steals it =:) =oXO
Can a scuttlebuggy outrun the big six-legged bear things that live in the woods?°❀.࿔
okay rwude don t take my advice sighs nobody listens to me sighs even when they asked forw my advice sighs okay not dirwectly but it is a public forwum which means if they arwe asking then they should at least take me into considerwation sighs so inconsiderwate sighs
because they arwe sighs sighs as in the worwd not the action because i am sad sighs that one was an actual sigh sighs that one too sighs and also because it is out of exasperwation oh woe is me these humans arwe so ignorwant and okay maybe i was doing that but you know you didn t rweally do it so it was rweverwse psychology if anything i taught you to not hold down yourw horwn but you could not underwstand that forw you do not get psychology because you lack complex topics like that frwom wherweverw you orwiginated frwom sighs no winning with these things
these things as in humans i am objectifying you orw wait no that is not the worwd uh i am deperwsonalizing you because i do not like you and thus i am lumping all humans togetherw and also not even rweferwrwing to them as a species but a thing because i do not like them
ah but you see i can not be fooled forw that is rweverwse psychology to make me think you know what rweverwse psychology is but i know you do not and arwe merwely just lying because therwe is no way you know that shit it is too advanced forw you an alterwnian exclusive
Can't believe I didn't ask this earlier, but: What the FUCK, Alternia?! This is about the drone robot maybe-biological fuckoff massive things, one of which chased me for like twenty minutes and nearly killed me on sight a few days ago. Still not sure exactly how I got away.°❀.࿔
Surely a glitch in the system. Maybe you should just lay down for it next time.
Yeah those things are bitches and most trolls won’t even fuck with them. Sometimes you can distract them, though.
Also, ankle update: I can put weight on it but I can't run or anything. So I've been hiding in the scuttlebuggy to avoid the acid rain and also wait for my ankle to untwist itself before I consider going anywhere. If that stupid tracker thing turns on again I am going to fucking scream. Well not really because then someone might hear me, but still.°❀.࿔

have you trwied giving up
Why is the acid rain SIDEWAYS?! It is NOT windy enough for that!!°❀.࿔
>>>(Nothing) left right >>>(A) let down
Update on the food situation: because I need to know eventually in case I get desperate, what exactly are the chitinous bits in troll bread? Also are they hypothetically safe for human consumption particularly if said human's digestive system isn't very good?°❀.࿔
Clowns are almost universally all shit, and plenty of non-clown purples are jackasses too, unfortunately. Love this culture that says “yeah! murder people at will because you can get away with it! you look SO tough and cool for realsies”. Loser shit.
Yeah, humans sure aren’t immune with your stupid wars and all but it’s sure way more normalized here.
Ehhhhh that’s generous, let’s not pretend a lot of your governments aren’t happy to kill other humans to steal their resources, but yeah, on an individual level usually less so.
All right yeah that’s fair. It does happen there too but it’s way less common.
Okay so, food inventory check: Weird troll bread with hard chitinous bits in it, troll food from Karama that I'm going to be very careful with (she said it was all gentle stuff so hopefully I don't get horrendously sick), five cans of baked beans, a box of honey-oat-chocolate cereal energy bars, seven packets of army meals, three apples, and a six-pack of shrimp crisps. I'm allergic to shellfish so I'm going to use those to try to bribe people I guess. So all in all, not about to die from starvation!°❀.࿔
My bad I was thinking about my pet shrimp and how much I love him. That’s probably how those got in there.
Yeah, no problem. I know what it’s like being stuck on this fuck ass rock when you didn’t ask to be. I mean I’ve gotten used to it and I have some friends here and a girlfriend now, but still.
Made it back to the scuttlebuggy thing and wait post cancelled a box just appeared from a pool of shadow WHAT!? @secondtimesThecharm was that you?!?°❀.࿔
Did you think I was bullshitting? I mean, reasonable suspicion given This Webbed Site, but nah I can just do that shit. Hopefully it’s not like, all ketchup and ham-flavored potato chips or whatever.
Okay, I'm getting out of this godsforsaken city and back into the woods to find the scuttlebuggy. Probably gonna go out the way I came in 'cause I don't want to get lost. If I'm fast (difficult with a bad ankle but shh) I should probably hopefully be okay°❀.࿔
Okay so. I know this is gonna sound weird but extend a little trust to me here and I can get you some human food. Not a ton. But I know what humans can eat. The catch is that it is going to look very fucking weird when it appears out of a tiny black void and I don’t know exactly what will be in the metal container that’ll appear. But I can promise it’ll be edible. Yes I know this sounds weird as fuck. Short version: I can manipulate probability across universes but I can’t 100% control it.

oh hey what woods are you going in? we might bump into each other?? i'm just lookin at bugs personally. i have food that i could share with you probably.
Lmfao that’s the spirit. ((OOC: As Arty says, a metal box with a few days’ worth of human food in it would pop out of a little black void nearby. It genuinely is edible and safe but utterly randomized so up to you what nonsense or not Wren gets.))
Finally got my ankle wrapped and my stomach is no longer trying to eat itself so that's good! Not dying tonight! Today? Whatever.°❀.࿔
