@tipzyGalmour Hi, Roxy. I had a bit of practice with another one of you last night, but... hello. It's nice to see another of you doing well.
Hi! I'm sorry, I know that's confusing. I know you've already met the real Seer and have no doubt hashed a lot of things out with her. I'm just so excited to see you girls. And apparently nongirls, in some cases.
no it’s ok mom its not too confusing i jsut didn’t realize it was *you* in specific yknow what i mean? *just
...I'm an idiot. How did I not make this connection yet? Jade Harley is the counterpart to Old Lady English. The Witch of Space. The glasses should have been a dead giveaway.
I'm going to 8low your gourd when I tell you a8out the color of the sky.
I haven't seen the old woman in decades, cut me some slack. There's so many unfamiliar faces here, I suppose she got lost in the sea, just as her obituary claimed. You're the spider girl, aren't you?
"Perennial." I like it. @grenadineAuspex I've seen you, and I know you've seen me. Maybe it's time we bridge the gap. Hello. My name is Rose.
I agree. That said, I... I like your topiaries. They're beautiful.
I'm honored. You know, the first time i Saw you, I assumed you a portent of doom, if you can believe it. A vision of my planet once trolls took over. But I never saw conquest, or familiar landscapes corrupted by hive matter. Just you, creating something beautiful. So I have to assume your significance is much different. Who are you, on your planet?
I Assumed Similar That You Were An Omen I Wish It Were So Simple I Am A Gardener Employed By Highbloods And You?
Primarily an author, though I've been thrust into the role of revolutionary. You have visions too, then. What does the Light tell you?
An Author And A Revolutionary How Fitting It Shows Me You Sitting Together Talking Watching You Laying Together On Some Strange Slab
Oh my. I've seen those two as well, I think - younger versions of us? The Seer of Light and the Sylph of Space?
Names I Never Hear Those Not So Clearly At Least Is That Them? I Never Understand It
Maybe this really is a lotus eater situation. I have to be careful to check my "real" messages, too, in case I'm needed.
God, I feel like a schoolgirl tripping over my own feet. It's just been so long since we last connected...
Do you remember when our visions drifted together while I was in the shower? That was nice. #suggestive
Oh my god. Speak of the devil, I suppose.
... That's another familiar face. But very different still... Not quite my Gardener.
So it wasn't a dream. Hello again, everyone.
Hello, I'm not sure we know each other. Except, you'd be the Heir of Breath, wouldn't you? Congrats on the new name, I suppose. :)
Yeah it's not bad. Just some whiplash about seeing everything back and forth. Anywho Hi. I'm Jack. Local stabdog on this site.
I am still kind of ecstatic that Joanne is dead. Not sure why I never did that before, honestly. But her selling out to the Empire was a pretty good excuse.
By the way, I "regret" to inform you that J.K. Rowling tragically passed away last night after her computer spontaneously and mysteriously exploded. Completely without prompting, I'm sure. It's such a shame, really. To see such a "beloved" figure in the wizard fiction scene go so soon before her time. She hadn't even finished writing "Harry Potter and the Benevolent Imperial Drone," the manuscript to which was tragically contained on the very same computer that exploded. How horrible.
Anyway, Complacency is, despite a certain baking conglomerate's desperate attempt at lobbying to ban it, still on sale in literally every bookstore. Including ones who seemingly never ordered it. Give it a read.
I can't help but feel like it's my fault. Like I'm patient zero. That's absurd, of course, I know that, both genetically and causally, I am of the second generation. And yet, when I see the others falter, see them struggle, it's tempting to assume their struggles are merely echoes, consequences of my own bad decisions. In case that's true in some metaphysical way: I'm sorry for saddling you all with this. #substance
youre too hard on yourself but its good youre getting these emotions out
If it makes you feel better Whatever gene or meme contains Lalondean alcoholism Not all Lalondes pass it down
I'll save my personal questions for another day. Thank you, relative of mine. It does make me feela bit better.
Though the struggles of the parent may follow their child, and indeed the parent may bear some blame, to assume total fault is doing yourself a disservice. These are difficult battles for anyone.
I feel lighter. A dull ache has gotten sharper, and yet a heavy malaise has lifted. My death won't be in vain.
Forgive me for interrupting this terribly heartfelt message of solidarity, Strider, but what the fuck?
oh what me being a robot and shit yeah haha theres a lot going on whats up lalonde
I presume you're from my future, given your use of the past tense earlier. And I further presume that you did, in fact, die with me, which was very sweet of you. Which, logic would dictate, means you're something of a ghost in the machine, now. But that doesn't quite ring true, does it? There's something I'm missing.
part of me is from your future yeah we died together doing what we believed in to resist no matter what happened but that was just a part of me and theres many parts of me that make up one whole all are iterations of myself but from different points in a temporal flow but if you wanna put it simply im just many ghosts that make up one big ghost that resides within a machine
I think I get it. You're the platonic ideal of Dave Strider, contained in a metal chassis. Not too complicated. So I imagine you're mostly the player, then?
theres really no quantifying how much of me i really am because its complicated i think im equally all parts myself its good to see you again lalonde
Good to see you, too. Even though, from my perspective, you're just a phone call away.
Oh, god, there's two more of her. This has to be some lotus eater shit. I'm going to scroll through her profile again and again and when I look up from my phone I'm going to be fifty years older. There's no way. Now, of all times?
The quadrant reacts are a nice touch. It implies the app is either Alternian in origin, or made by a hardcore Complacency fan. Which, given the multiple Lalondes I've seen already, seems not unlikely.
I'm m. Pretty sure it's the former. If it's any consolation. The dev team seems pretty, uh. Varied? I saw a troll at the head, but I also saw one of those green guys. I ddon't know their names...
￣\ i was about to say some snarky shit about the logo literally saying "chittr" in standard alternian and then i realized you might be on mobile you're on trollcial media, babe. welcome, have a seat, etc /￣
Cherubim. Yes, like the order of angels, though the connection is tenuous.
as it happens im an enormous fan a complacency calmasis is literally me
You're not supposed to... Nevermind. I've been fighting that battle longer than I've been fighting the Batterwitch.
im just sayin id slaughter all those esoteric double speakin geezers too if only for the right a passage and proof a my superior wwizardry wwhat i wwouldnt givve to duel zazzerpan for real
And two users in a row bearing my name. Fae, perhaps? Suddenly very glad I only entered my first initial.
I'm sorry, this is... this is confusing, and I'm trying to make sense of it. You're not... her. In either sense. Yet you are. I'm... On the fridge. Welded to the door. What did I leave you?
on my fridge..? wait wait wait wait howd u kno abt the frame welded 2 my fridge???? i never told any1 abt that
Because I put it there. Or... Or some other me. Your me. Multiverse shenanigans, I think...? I'm sorry, this is confusing to me too.
... yea this place is packed w timey wimey multiversal shit but iv never seen a vers of u around before, i mean, one who isnt...jxjddjf i jus i need sum time 2 think
Trolls, kemonomimi, and what appears to be a Cherub, or else a hardcore Skaianet fan. Interesting.
It's not everyday you're presented with a mysterious *app* of unknown origin. Usually it's a tome, or an artifact, or a whisper. But I suppose the forces that govern this sort of thing must update their methods eventually. Hello there, strange folk inside my phone. I'm excited to find out what you really are.
